4-Part Series: Dissolve Shame and Defense

Stream on Demand: Essential Therapy Training


Therapists often wonder how theory translates into practice. In this 4-part webinar series, shame expert Susan Warren Warshow explores familiar and formidable challenges as they present themselves in recorded sessions with real clients. She discusses and demonstrates her “shame-sensitive” approach to transcending the significant barriers to therapeutic healing, namely Shame, Anxiety, Guilt, and Self-protective Strategies (SAGSS). The therapist’s recognition of these obstacles does little good unless the client shares this awareness. This transformative approach allows clients to see how their trauma-based conflicts undermine their goals and create their symptoms, bringing unconscious material to consciousness.


The series will cover the following topics:

          Igniting a Partnership for Change

          Transcending Shame

          Disarming Defenses DEFTly

          When Feelings Frozen by Trauma Emerge
