This presentation delves into the profound impact of shame on well-being and personal growth, offering psychotherapists a comprehensive set of tools for working with shame in the therapy room. Drawing from leading experts like Brené Brown and Janina Fisher, we explore the multifaceted nature of shame, its neurobiological underpinnings, cultural influences, and the pivotal role of empathy and self-compassion in its healing. By equipping ourselves with empirically grounded shame resilience strategies and integrating experiential and relational interventions, we enhance our ability to guide clients toward transformative growth. This journey not only deepens our understanding of shame’s intricate dynamics but also positions us as agents of change, fostering resilience and agency in our clients’ lives.
This course is based on the recorded webinar, Unveiling Shame: Nurturing Resilience and Agency created by Sarah Buino in 2024.
