Research in CFT and ABI

The concepts and clinical application of CFT have yet to be explored in depth with people who have ABI. It would be useful to investigate further the experience of shame and self-criticism in this population, in order to understand the nature of these emotional experiences and responses in relation to ABI. However, findings reveal that adults with ABI have described positively how CFT has helped them to relate to themselves in a new way and re-evaluate their sense of worth, as well as providing tools to manage their difficulties. A key part of this process was understanding and developing empathy for their own situations. They described how this allowed them to make changes to how they relate to others as well as to themselves. One clearly different and interesting aspect of the findings is that the survivors are able to take positively-learned knowledge from neuropsychology, which helps them not only to make sense of their “trickier brains,” but also to see that this situation is “not their fault.” The “tricky brain” concept is a key principle of CFT and is particularly salient for ABI populations where the tricky brain becomes even trickier given the impact that frontal lobe and other damage can have on executive control of emotions and rational thinking abilities. This added neuropsychological dimension to the tricky brain is a key part of CFT psycho-education.
