Shame is an intense, wholebody experience that we need to find ways to cope with.

When left unaddressed, shame causes us to hide away, lash out, withdraw from others, or berate ourselves. It affects our relationships with others as well as our relationship with ourselves.

Because of its pervasive and all-encompassing nature, shame needs to be treated differently than other uncomfortable emotions.

Shame resilience starts with being able to identify shame and take a step back from it when it arises.

About this course

The purpose of this course is to provide you with 6 concrete tools
you will be able to use to help support that resilience to shame.

Remember:

Shame is universal
but it doesn’t have to run our lives.

The tools I’m sharing with you are backed by science and used everyday with clients.

If you’re ready, you can enroll and begin as early as today. I hope you’ll join me!

How can I get the most out of this course?

1. Know what to expect
In this course I mainly use pre-recorded video lessons, and I also include links to additional resources such as articles, books, and podcasts that compliment the skill we’re working on. During the video lessons, I offer a mix of story, information, and activities to try out with me.You can see an example of one in the preview above. If you're curious about the weekly theme, you can have a closer look at the outline and you’ll get a pretty good idea of just what we’re covering. I also encourage people who don't already know me to have a listen to some of the podcast interviews I've recorded over the years or read articles I've written in order to get a sense of my style and my take on shame resilience in order to make sure that we're a good match. I want you to be happy with the course and to feel like this is a full body yes!

2. Be honest with yourself about what you need
In terms of an online course, I think it's all too easy to convince ourselves that we'll fit it in "when we have time". If you're here because this is important to you, I'm going to suggest finding a way to specifically set time aside in the same you would for an in-person course or workshop. If it helps to put it in your calendar for a certain day and time each week, or make a commitment with a friend to do it together, please do! You could also tell your therapist you’re planning on doing this course. Accountability buddies are the best. Know for yourself what would help you the most in making this commitment to yourself and what will keep you going, even when other peoples' needs are calling to you.

3. Practice
Making change takes practice, and so when we're working on things like being kinder to ourselves, it can take time. I try to offer exercises that you can try during the lessons with me and then keep practicing in your daily life, and that way you'll get even more out of the course than just the time you spend watching the videos. It may be helpful to think about how you can practice, integrate, or reflect on what you've learned after each lesson. This might be a practice of loving kindness, or a journalling reflection once a week, for example. Some days will be easier than others, of course, but over time you're likely to see more growth and healing by making this commitment. Keep in mind that healing doesn't happen overnight, and have patience with yourself.

Is this therapy?
This course is a non-interactive educational experience, which means it's not the same as therapy, and it should not be taken as a substitute for it.

You may be able to find one through Inclusive Therapists or Therapy Den (US only).
