Further information

This conference will study the way that society separates us on the basis of race, class, gender, ability, language, accent, and creates a system that places more value on some people over others.

We will study the lived experience of these forces of separation and judgement as they emerge in the working Group Relations conference as a temporary learning organisation.

This two day training is designed to cover the principles, philosophy and techniques of Compassion Focused Therapy CFT, how these can be modified and applied to help people recover from an eating disorder or emotional eating (for example Binge Eating Disorder / Compulsive Eating). 

It introduces a specific approach to eating disorder formulation and treatment (Compassion Focused Therapy for Eating Disorders – CFT-E) and evidence that supports its incorporation into mainstream eating disorder treatment. Our speaker Ken Goss is a leading clinician and expert in CFT-E. 

The training provides the basis for therapists to access the Advanced CFT-E three day training (which we hope to host in 2022).
