Bolton Talking Therapies perinatal compassion focused therapy (CFT) group
Bolton Talking Therapies are offering a new perinatal Compassion Focused Therapy (CFT) group.
Who will benefit from attending the perinatal CFT group?
If you’re aged 16 or above, registered with a Bolton GP and answer yes to any of the following questions, you may benefit from attending the perinatal CFT group:
- Are you the main carer of a baby under two years old?
- Are you finding the demands of parenting/caring difficult to cope with?
- Are you struggling with depression or anxiety?
- Do you get caught up in work and self-criticism?
What is CFT?
CFT aims to help reduce distress and psychological difficulties, as well as increasing happiness, wellbeing and flourishing.
It does this by helping people to cultivate their compassionate minds, which in turn, allows them to engage with the difficulties they are facing in a wise and helpful way.
CFT helps people to become more compassionate towards themselves and others.
Bolton Talking Therapies CFT group
The group will be facilitated by two members of the Bolton Talking Therapies team.
It will involve attending eight x two-hour weekly sessions, at a family friendly venue.
Babies and toddlers are welcome to come along.
If you think you may benefit from accessing this group, please complete the online self-referral form on the Bolton Talking Therapies webpage.
