  • Making space for your emotions sounds as if it would work well with internal family systems.

  • Really helpful operational demonstration of parts of the self, using the therapeutic relationship – imagery etc. Integrating rescripting, CFT and ACT. Brought the theory to life…

  • thank you very much for yet again showing that CFT can be or should be (in my opinion) at the very core of psychotherapeutic work in general; I think this talk will be particularly helpful for all UK based folk who are based in NHS services and told to work in a very regimented, protocol based-way (CBT specifically) which leaves very little room for any innovation, flexibility or modification; thank you again for showing that it can be done and how to do it

  • what is the website she references? Sounds like she is saying “myhopeandcompassion.com. But nothing comes up.

  • I think this approach is helpfull in many ways. Dennise and Laura explained with the “inner bully” exercise very clearly for me. Thsnk you
