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 certificate 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.
