Understanding, Reducing and Transforming Shame

led by Bret Lyon, Sheila Rubin

Language: 🇬🇧 English

Shame is perhaps the most painful of all emotions. It is at the root of the inner critic, perfectionism, depression, eating disorders and addiction. It binds with other emotions, such as anger, fear and grief, so that it’s often hard to detect. Curiosity is the opposite of shame. In this workshop On-Demand, you will learn to help clients repair the impact of toxic shame in a way that is deep and long-lasting and actually begin to transform their shame into a powerful ally that will help them make better life decisions and live with more vitality and self-esteem.

I am very glad I found this site!
I am very glad I found this site which offers trainings of various methods. I really look forward for more programs on trauma, somatic psychotherapy. Congratulations to the team for organising such events.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Gayathri B. (from India )
Warm and interactive
The speakers gave a very useful and direct description of shame, they were warm and interactive, and gave good examples and helpful somatic practices. I benefited from the break-out groups. I liked that they did not over-use Powerpoint, but shared it beforehand as a reference. I get tired of looking at presentations, and they kept my interest.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Dana (from USA)
Excellent Speaker and Very interesting Course.
The content was consistent with what I had learned during my psychotherapy and was a good refresher. I liked how the information was linked to the polyvagal theory and helped me to keep my previous knowledge up to date.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Michelle M. (from United Kingdom)
Thank you, Brett and Sheila.
Brett and Sheila embody the truth in sharing the identification of shame, healing from shame, and how to embrace shame for a better purpose. Their natural and exuberant format is magnetic and draws the desire to learn easily out from their audience. Having personal experience with shame, I am grateful for the freedom their studies and educational content provide.

Course Breakdown:

The “Healing Shame” course, led by Sheila Rubin and Bret Lyon, offers a comprehensive exploration of shame and its therapeutic implications. This training provides therapists with a deep understanding of shame’s definition, evolutionary purpose, and physiological impact. Participants learn about shame’s effect on the nervous system and various reactions to it, including denial, self-attack, and withdrawal.

The course emphasizes the importance of repairing the “interpersonal bridge” to heal shame. Therapists are taught specific techniques for working with shame, such as slowing down the process, offering unconditional positive regard, and utilizing presence, play, and empathy. A unique model is introduced to guide client attention through different realms of experience: cognitive, imaginal, interpersonal, and spiritual.

Special attention is given to shame repair strategies, including normalization, education, and cognitive reframing. The program integrates theories on shame, trauma, and attachment, offering a multidimensional perspective. It also provides practical resources and an extensive bibliography for further study, making this training a valuable resource for mental health professionals seeking to enhance their effectiveness in treating shame-related issues.

The course combines three theoretical streams: Shame Theory, Trauma Theory, and Attachment Theory, drawing from the works of renowned experts in these fields. This integration allows for a comprehensive approach to understanding and treating shame in clinical practice.
