Find help and support for Therapists for Compassion-Focused Therapy (CFT) in Nice
Compassion-Focused Therapy, or CFT, helps people develop a kinder, steadier and more supportive relationship with themselves. It can be especially useful when shame, self-criticism, guilt, perfectionism or low self-worth make daily life harder. The goal is not to ignore problems or avoid responsibility. The goal is to face difficulty with more courage, warmth and clarity.
CFT may support people dealing with shame and guilt, low self-esteem, Perfektionismus, Angst oder Depression. It may also help people who feel driven by pressure, fear of failure or a harsh inner critic. Many clients know logically that they are not “bad” or “not enough”, but still feel trapped by those beliefs emotionally.
CFT often explores three emotional systems: threat, drive and soothing. The threat system reacts to danger, criticism or rejection. The drive system pushes toward goals and achievement. The soothing system supports calm, safety and connection. When threat and drive dominate, the person may feel anxious, tense, ashamed or never satisfied. CFT helps strengthen the soothing system and build a more compassionate inner response.
A session may include psychoeducation, compassionate imagery, breathing, mindfulness, grounding, letter writing, chair work or exercises that help the person respond differently to self-criticism. The therapist may also help the client understand where harsh inner patterns came from and why they once felt protective.
CFT can work alongside approaches such as Kognitive Verhaltenstherapie, Akzeptanz- und Selbstverpflichtungstherapie oder Achtsamkeitsmeditation. When trauma is involved, the therapist should move carefully and focus first on safety, grounding and emotional regulation.
Before starting, ask the therapist about their CFT training, experience with shame and self-criticism, session structure, online availability and how they adapt the work when emotions feel intense. CFT does not replace emergency support or medical care when these are needed.
