What is Compassion-Focused Therapy (CFT)?
Compassion-Focused Therapy (CFT) is a therapeutic method that is highly specialized and created by Paul Gilbert to assist individuals who find it difficult to have persistent shame, high self-criticism, and self-soothing.
APC frequently uses neuroscience, evolutionary psychology, mindfulness and compassion practices to assist you in getting wise with your inner critic, developing a compassionate self-position and enhancing your ability to be kind to yourself and resilient in your emotions and thoughts.
In Orlando Treatment Solutions, CFT is combined with your own story, so you do not just process problems, you also change them.
Why choose CFT?
- As a result, CFT will provide you with tools to change the dialogue within yourself in case self-criticism, cruel voices, or shame overwhelm you.
- CFT balances the asymmetry between your soothing system and your threat system in case you feel that the former is underutilized and the latter is overutilized.
- CTF provides you with an alternative avenue in the event you have not yet done all necessary therapies and are still entangled in self-judging or emotional imbalance.
Who Can Benefit from Compassion-Focused Therapy?
CFT within Orlando Treatment Solutions is appropriate for a diverse span of emotional and mental health issues, which include:
- Generalized anxiety, panic, worrying.
- Depression and other persistent mood disorders.
- Shame, self-esteem and extreme self-criticism.
- Anger problems, distress of body image, and eating issues.
- Childhood neglect or trauma history, early neglect, and/or emotional neglect.
- Relational problems based on self-esteem or self-love.
- The struggle of personality with self-criticism is the major element.
Regardless of your life transition and the years of emotional baggage you have, our team is eager to find you where you are currently and help you navigate toward a more humane manner of living.

What to Expect from the CFT Process at Orlando Treatment Solutions
When you start with us, a guided and facilitated process of achieving emotional self-care and healing marks a structured journey towards emotional self-care. The common steps of a process include:
1. Getting to know your systems of emotional management
We teach you how the threat system of the brain, the drive/excitement system and the soothing/social safety system work and how disproportions and imbalances, particularly during early life, may leave you with a burden of self-criticism and emotional distress.
2. Gaining skills in compassionate mind
With the help of mindfulness practices and compassionate imagery, guided exercises and visualization, you will develop the ability to reach your calming system and be kinder to yourself.
3. Hammering with your internal critic
We assist you in identifying the occurrence of self-criticism, giving the name to the inner critic, learning how to tone down the voices of the latter, and replacing aggressiveness towards yourself with care and compassion.
4. Inter-session homework/practice
The transformation takes place not only during the therapy session. You will get practice assignments that will empower your caring self-position. Diligence and persistence are important.
5. Lifelong and integrated skills
In addition to relief of symptoms, CFT can help you live with less fear and self-attack as well as increased emotional freedom.

Frequently Asked Questions About CFT
Q: How many sessions does CFT require?
Every individual’s journey is unique. Many clients see meaningful change within 8-12 sessions, though longer-term work may be appropriate for deeper wounds or chronic patterns.
Q: Is CFT only for people with trauma
Not at all. While CFT is highly effective for those with trauma or early neglect, it is equally beneficial for anyone struggling with self-criticism, shame or emotional dysregulation.
Q: Can I combine CFT with other therapies?
Yes. At Orlando Treatment Solutions, we often integrate CFT with other effective modalities (like CBT, mindfulness or ACT) when it supports your goals.
Q: What if I’ve tried therapy before and felt stuck?
CFT offers a fresh lens focusing on cultivating self-compassion rather than just changing thoughts. Many clients say this approach brings new possibilities when past therapy felt stuck.
