A brief description about this Activity.
Shame hides in the shadows and blocks an intimate connection, which is especially problematic when we try to get to the root of a problem in psychotherapy. Shame can be a trickster with many masks, and the therapist who can recognize its presence and help the client dissolve shame with compassion can provide significant relief and freedom. Unfortunately, shame can invade either the client or therapist at any moment and inhibit the risk-taking that is necessary to spark change. Sometimes therapists hold back from making vital observations or suggestions due to the anticipation of resistance or failure. Similarly, clients may assume the therapist will react with disgust or rejection if they reveal themselves. Yet if both partners can’t talk about what’s difficult and get beyond inhibitions, we lose precious opportunities. In this presentation, therapists will learn how to employ the powerful elements of the Healing Triad to undo shame and other common barriers to emotional intimacy.
