Do you hear internal messages such as, “You’re not good enough,” and “What will people think?”
If so, you are one of many seeking the unattainable goal of perfection, whether you are conscious of it or not. In this workshop, we learn what fuels this pursuit and how to heal it.
In her seven years of groundbreaking research on shame, Brené Brown discovered an important truth: Our imperfections are what connect us to each other and to our humanity. Our vulnerabilities are not weaknesses; they are powerful reminders to keep our hearts and minds open to the reality that we are all feeling much the same way much of the time.
To embrace our vulnerabilities and cast aside perfectionism, we learn how to:
- Cultivate shame resilience
- Move through fear, blame, and disconnection
- Love ourselves and others the way we are
- Grasp the connection that gives true purpose and meaning to life
This workshop is also an excellent opportunity for mental health professionals to learn how to incorporate this work into their practice.
At the conclusion of this workshop, participants should be able to:
- Define shame and differentiate the construct from guilt, embarrassment and humiliation
- Demonstrate an understanding of the role empathy plays in the development of shame resilience
- Identify the four elements of shame resilience (as conceptualized in shame resilience theory - SRT)
- Utilize one clinical tool related to each shame resilience element
- Identify key social-cultural barriers contributing to feelings of shame in individuals and families
Brené Brown is also part of Women & Courage, September 12-14.
Brené Brown, PhD, LMSW, researcher at the University of Houston Graduate College of Social Work, is author of I Thought It Was Just Me: Women Reclaiming Courage and Power in a Culture of Shame and coeditor of the textbook, Controversial Issues in Social Policy.
