Compassion Focused

Cultivate Self-Compassion to Heal Emotional Wounds and Build Resilience

Struggling with self-criticism, shame, or overwhelming emotions? Compassion Focused Therapy (CFT) helps you develop kindness toward yourself and others, fostering emotional healing and greater well-being. At Summit Counseling Center, our therapists use CFT to guide you in transforming negative thought patterns into self-compassion and inner strength.

What Is Compassion Focused Therapy?

CFT is a research-based therapeutic approach that combines cognitive-behavioral techniques with compassion practices. It is designed to help those who experience high levels of shame, self-judgment, or emotional difficulties by activating the brain’s natural compassion system, promoting calmness, courage, and connection.

What to Expect in Compassion Focused Therapy

During CFT sessions, your therapist will:

Teach mindfulness and compassion skills to soothe emotional distress
Help you understand and reframe self-critical thoughts
Encourage practices that build self-acceptance and resilience
Use exercises to strengthen your compassionate mind
Create a supportive environment for emotional growth

This gentle approach fosters healing through understanding rather than judgment.
