Therapy Can Help You Develop Self-Compassion
Emotional dysregulation can trigger feelings of negativity and self-criticism. Some people feel stuck in an endless cycle of unnecessary fear and shame. They may feel unsure how to break free.
CFT is a form of exposure psychotherapy that encourages positive emotions and self-compassion. Our therapists create a safe place where you can feel free to explore your emotions. We use CFT to help you develop positive thought patterns and increase kindness toward yourself.
