Undoing Shame
Copyright :
More than any other obstacle, shame can block the joy and peace traumatized clients seek in therapy. Feelings of worthlessness prevent them from metabolizing positive experiences. Rather than seeing their accomplishments and strengths as accurate reflections of who they are, shame sabotages their progress. Paradoxically, as clients get better in treatment, standing up for themselves more and reaching their goals, these shifts can evoke other forms of shame, like self-doubt and self-judgement. In this workshop, you’ll explore. You’ll explore how to:
- Understand and accept the role of shame in surviving traumatic events
- Undo negative beliefs rooted in traumatic events that fuel feelings of inferiority and unworthiness
- Connect with and move through feelings of shame to make space for more pride and self-love
