Description

This one-day course explores shame as a by-product of complex relational trauma. It draws on attachment and trauma theories, and narrative and family therapy concepts to explore how shame manifests through the experience of trauma. It explores the role of shame as a constraint to change in family work, particularly where there are wellbeing and protective issues with children. The course uses teaching, role-play and experiential exercises to enhance your understanding of the role of shame as a consequence of trauma and explores strategies and interventions you can use to support clients to move from shame towards self-efficacy, independence and empowerment.

  • Understand the relationship of shame to childhood trauma and as a manifestation of complex relational trauma
