How do we learn from and modify our words and behaviors without going into the toxic freeze state of shame? Even when we have been shamed or abused, how do we take responsibility for the part of what happened that is ours, even if it is quite small, and learn from it?
In this advanced workshop, you will learn to help yourselves and your clients shift the shame, transforming it from toxic freeze to helpful change agent.We will cover the shame produced in many situations in which we feel we have let someone down or broken some important rules, including affairs.
This workshop will cover the following subject areas:
The difference between healthy shame and toxic shame.
How to have precision regarding where in the client’s timeline the shame intervention needs to be done.
How to help clients unpack toxic shame—somatically, psychologically, emotionally—and move forward.
How to get a client from a frozen state into a state of resilience, openness and creativity.
How what we often see as the worst things can be transformed into a new story about our life.

Your Workshop has really helped me recognize, name, and gently explore shame that is binding other primary emotions, attachment needs and fears.”
