Beyond Shame: Integrating Self-Compassion and Relational Healing

Jun. 28, 2025

10:00 AM - 1:15 PM (EST)

Virtual Event
3 CE Credits
This presentation explores the significant effects of shame on well-being and personal development, providing psychotherapists with a thorough set of tools for addressing shame in the therapy setting.
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.
