Divided into 12 modules, group members will move through the content with the support of their therapist. It is designed to be used during and between group sessions. Participants will be able to access and review key pieces of information. Additionally, participants will be able to engage with group material by completing handouts and applying CFT to their own life. Out of session practices can also be found inside, to further support patients in their growth.

This is an ideal resource for patients in an inpatient setting, experiencing self-criticism and shame.
