““Your warmth, sensitivity and professionalism bring much hope to the rewarding field that we are privileged to work in.””
Both Sheila and Bret offer private and group consultations.
We provide Both Professional and personal Consultations, helping you work with shame issues with specific clients, as well as your own issues around Shame, to refine your personal therapeutic style. We Provide one time or ongoing supervision.
Learning how to work with your own shame—and counter-transference when the person is in the grip of shame—can make all the difference in the world. Learning how to work with shame can transform the unhealed shame of your clients into healthy shame. It can help the client learn something deep within themselves to break the cycle of the trauma. Our consultation programs also provide space to support personal challenges. While not therapy, these can help in exploring personal shame issues that get in the way of being fully present with your clients or in other aspects of your life. Please see detailed program descriptions below.
Whether you’ve done one, many, or none of the Healing Shame workshops, these therapist consultation programs are about integrating weekly practices and exercises with your clients, so that the personalized Healing Shame training we work on together is tailored to your specific practice needs and the therapeutic style you specialize in. Get support for your most challenging clients. This work can transform your work, your clients, and your practice. Some therapy agencies pay for their staff to have supervision and training with us.
These consultation programs can also be used as part of the Healing Shame Practitioner Certification Program.
CONSULTATION GROUPS
Sheila and Bret also offer consultation groups that provide both teaching concepts and help for individual cases in a group setting. Get support from us and the Healing Shame community at a special price. Check our Schedule page to see when groups are offered—or contact Sheila directly.
