This was so validating to read! I've experienced the "three circles and then nothing" so that made me laugh 😂 I love CFT because even if I'm not strictly using the model, many of the concept flow very nicely with other modalities like ACT. But I agree it definitely takes practice to build confidence and I still find myself in clunky sessions too at times.
Yey! I'm glad it resonated with you 😊 Thank you for commenting and sharing your experience too. I love CFT but it can be tricky to navigate. I can easily flip flop between confident and clunky. I absolutely agree about how it fits with other models. Interestingly, I hadn't known much about ACT until I started using CFT and now I'm beginning to bring more ACT into my work too. My supervisor recommended a book recently on how the two map across.
Thank you for taking time to read my work, I'm still in the realm of posting and tumbleweeds! It's appreciated!
So many useful things in this article Kirsty, thank you! I love the renaming of the "for and against" into "this is understandable because..." and all the other examples you gave. There are things here to use inside and outside the therapy room!
