Why a self-guided course on shame?

Imagine a life where you wake up feeling at peace, clear about your desires, and confident in your choices. Where your days are guided by what you truly want, not just what you think you should do. A life where you trust yourself fully, speak your truth without hesitation, and set boundaries that honor your deepest needs.

Shame Course: 

Shame-to-Connection is a 12-week journey to help you understand and heal your relationship with shame in order to create intimate, vulnerable and meaningful connections with your partner and other people in your life.
Shame is a major stumbling block, perhaps the biggest, for people who have betrayed their partner and want to heal the relationship.  The reality is  you must first heal yourself.

Shame lives in an environment of secrecy, silence and judgement.  This in and of itself facilitates disconnection, which makes sustaining connecting with our partner challenging at best and impossible at worst.  Shame heals when we own and speak our story.  Shame resilience opens the door for empathy and self-compassion.

If toxic shame is the problem when it comes to healing relationships after betrayal, shame resilience is the solution.  Most of our clients never learned the skill of shame resilience.  When entering treatment, their goal naturally is to immediately repair the relationship, while failing to realize that a significant barrier to healing lies within them.  The other problem is that shame does not want to be seen so most people shut it down and keep it hidden and then disconnect.  This perpetuates the cycle of shame and disconnection.

This course is designed to teach the skill of shame resilience with the goal of:

  • Healing toxic shame
  • Facilitating deep connection with your partner
  • Living a more harmonious, joyful and relational life.
