About this Event
Shame Containment Theory
Description: Enhance your practice with our groundbreaking in-person training course on shame containment theory. Tailored for counsellors, psychotherapists, teachers, social workers, and other professionals, this course delves into the emerging understanding of shame as a pivotal factor in mental and emotional well-being. As society recognizes the profound impact of shame on individuals, our course introduces a fresh perspective and innovative approach to understanding and working with shame. Through the shame containment theory lens, this course will provide practical insights into why we have shame from the perspective of attachment and how shame is a vital emotion that is needed for survival.
In this training we will delve into the fundamental five components that constitute the bedrock of shame containment theory. These are: attachment injuries, contained shame, uncontained shame, shame containment strategies, and re-containment strategies. Through this learning experience, you will gain an understanding of these concepts, enabling you to recognize and navigate the intricate landscape of shame experienced by your clients.
