Description
Shame… have you noticed how it sticks like super glue to our clients and acts as a barrier to trauma resolution?
Even after effective trauma treatment, shame and self-loathing can interfere with our clients’ full participation in life.
Watch world-renowned complex trauma and attachment expert Janina Fisher, PhD, as she reveals today’s most effective modalities for treating shame and self-loathing in trauma clients.
The body-oriented interventions featured in this recording will help clients relate to their symptoms with mindful dual awareness and curiosity so that, when integrated with traditional psychodyanamic, cognitive-behavioral, and EMDR techniques, issues of shame can become an avenue to transformation rather than a source of stuckness.
If you are frustrated with the lack of treatment success with traumatized clients with chronic shame, this live webcast will provide the solutions for long-term healing.
