2-Day Treating Trauma in the Shame-Prone Client

$459.99 Standard
Also Available: Digital Seminar

I used to have clients with trauma who just wouldn’t respond to treatment.

Session after session I was met with anger, avoidance or vague responses that shut the door to deeper exploration and healing.

No matter what I did, I felt like these clients believed they weren’t worthy of healing.

That’s when the solution became clear – shame was standing in the way of my clients’ path to a better life…and it’s likely standing in the way of yours.

Since that time, I’ve used a shame-informed approach that’s allowed me to more successfully access clients’ deeply rooted pain, free them from their dysfunctional self-worth, and vastly improve treatment.

Now in this comprehensive certification course I’ll share the clinical strategies and expert level practice tips you need to master effective therapy with shame-prone trauma clients.

When you purchase you’ll get full access to both confidence boosting days PLUS…

  • Tools for assessing shame in clients’ relationships and current patterns
  • Exercises and co-regulation strategies that create emotional safety
  • Specific guidance on using narrative and therapeutic art techniques
  • Mindfulness and somatic techniques to build calm and release shame

Don’t let shame continue to stand in the way of your clients’ healing.
