Description
Shame can occur when we feel judged by others or when we judge ourselves. It can happen when we do something wrong and when we’re entirely innocent of wrongdoing. Whenever we feel bad about ourselves, for whatever reason, there is a touch of shame.
Shame makes us go small, go silent, or go away. Ironically, shame itself is not the problem. The problem is that there is often no one home to work with shame.
Self-compassion is the antidote to shame. In this 3-hour workshop, we’ll take a unique, non-pathological look at shame through the eyes of self-compassion.
This workshop is open to anyone interested in learning more about shame and self-compassion. It is an introductory workshop that starts the conversation on shame. It is important to note that it is a resource-building workshop rather than actual psychotherapy.
This workshop will offer new teachings on shame and self-compassion as well as opportunities to do guided practice, reflection and sharing (where comfortable).
