Helping Clients Deal with Passive Aggressiveness

By Practical CBT

Module 1: Understanding Passive Aggressive Behaviour Define passive aggression and differentiate it from assertiveness, aggression, and conflict avoidance. Explore common tactics (e.g. silent treatment, sarcasm, procrastination) and the impact on victims. Discuss origins of passive-aggressive patterns (e.g. upbringing, emotional suppression, indirect communication norms). Module 2: Recognising the Impact on the Client Identify emotional responses such as self-doubt, confusion, guilt, or chronic frustration. Examine cognitive distortions commonly activated (e.g. personalization, mind reading). Discuss how repeated passive-aggression can affect the client’s self-esteem, relationships, and coping strategies. Module 3: CBT Formulation for Passive Aggressive Victimisation Apply the 5-areas CBT model to situations involving passive-aggressive encounters. Map triggers, thoughts, feelings, behaviours, and consequences in these interactions. Use longitudinal formulation to explore deeper beliefs around conflict, boundaries, and worth. Module 4: Cognitive Interventions Help clients identify and challenge unhelpful thoughts such as “It’s my fault,” or “I mustn’t upset them.” Use Socratic questioning to explore alternative interpretations of ambiguous communication. Promote cognitive restructuring to rebuild a sense of control and reduce self-blame. Module 5: Behavioural Interventions Teach assertiveness and boundary-setting skills tailored to indirect hostility. Role-play effective behavioural responses to common passive-aggressive tactics. Reduce safety behaviours such as people-pleasing or emotional suppression. Module 6: Emotion Regulation and Self-Compassion Use mindfulness and emotional awareness techniques to manage internalised frustration or guilt. Support clients in developing a compassionate internal voice when feeling manipulated or dismissed. Reinforce skills for tolerating discomfort when asserting themselves. Module 7: Sustaining Change and Relapse Prevention Build a plan for handling recurring passive-aggressive dynamics in personal or professional life. Identify red flags and early warning signs of relational imbalance or manipulation. Reinforce long-term goals of clarity, assertiveness, and psychological resilience.

The Self-compassion Community

the self-compassion community

London

I'm a former board level executive director who rose quickly ... and became burnt out, young. I am also a former voice artist - something which served me well when a life-changing injury occurred in 2006. I suffered a ‘hip replacement gone wrong’ which left me with major arterial internal bleeding and genuinely fighting for my life ... physically of course, and subsequently mentally too as the months of physical recovery and pain rolled into many years. I went from being a high-achieving, fast-paced, super capable person, to someone who needed to learn to walk again. That took its toll. And years of pain and effort. Cultivating self-compassion and mindfulness helped me find a way through. Sounds trite almost doesn't it? But it's powerfully, powerfully true. Catherine Kell Meaningful and adaptable teaching I have studied hard to do the work I do, to get all the necessary qualifications and registrations (more on those below). Yet what exams and qualifications alone can't give someone is the heart to do the work. That 'in the veins' pulse to help improve the life of another. And I believe my journey gives me the authenticity to bring compassion-based approaches meaningfully and wholeheartedly to others. I embody what I teach, and I bring kindness, sincerity, warmth, and of course compassion to every interaction. I'm friendly and lively too! I bring an adaptable pace and tone depending on the environment. I'm passionate about bringing the skills of self-compassion and mindfulness into people's lives to help them make transformations, build their resources and step into their full expression and power from a place of self-acceptance and inner strength. It's a privilege to witness the unfolding of all aspects of their good health. Qualifications and Education Catherine has had a personal mindfulness and meditation practice since 2006. She is a qualified and authorised Trained Teacher of the evidence-based and empirically-supported Mindful Self-Compassion programmes and trained through the globally renowned Center for Mindful Self-Compassion in their intensive MSC programme developed by self-compassion pioneers Kristin Neff PhD and Christopher Germer PhD. She is trauma-sensitive in all her work, undertaking ongoing CPD in the trauma field. She has an MA Degree with Honours and as well as her training as a Mindfulness Teacher she holds a Professional Certification in Clinical and Therapeutic Mindfulness for applied use in 1-to-1 session work. Additionally, Catherine is an alumni of Compassion Cultivation Training with the Compassion Institute, a scientifically-backed and evidence-based training programme developed at Stanford University, as well as various compassion, mindfulness, meditation and lovingkindness professional development programs with Tara Brach and Sharon Salzberg, both global leaders in compassion and mindfulness. Catherine is also a Trained Teacher with the Mindfulness in Schools Project, and has passionately brought her skillset to scores of teenagers and school staff as a teacher of kindfulness, gratitude practices and the MiSP evidence-based 10-week mindfulness curriculum developed specifically for pupils and staff in schools. Catherine is a qualified Clinical Hypnotherapist (Dip.Cl.Hyp (Distinction), Cl.NLP, CNHC Reg., SICH HPD, MNCH(Reg.) and Paediatric Clinical Hypnotherapist (Dip.Hyp Paediatrics (Distinction). In her past work with children, Catherine had a particular interest in anxiety, panic attacks and sleep, helping children and adolescents from the age of around 7 to 18. Today, working with adults, Catherine uses hypnosis in a coaching capacity rather than a clinical one in order to help those working with her to cultivate self-compassion, boost life-satisfaction, uplevel and truly thrive. Previously, Catherine provided in-depth parenting support and empowerment services for whole families either in office from a local health centre, or via home visits. Catherine led specialist therapeutic support and learning sessions for mothers based around cultivating mindful self-compassion and strengthening the parent-child connection in parenting. Catherine is a Certified Positive Discipline Parent Educator, holds a Diploma In Positive Parenting and is a graduate of the 'Parenting by Connection Professionals Programme' with Hand in Hand Parenting. Catherine draws all her rich experience into every interaction. She is passionate about guiding people in developing the capacity to be with themselves in the kindest and most supportive way. Self-compassion can truly transform lives. Catherine is an accomplished speaker and provider of workshops and talks. She has contributed as a mindfulness and self-compassion expert to many podcasts and a number of mental health books.
