  • Understanding the physiology of Shame and its role in development
    2019/11/21
    Shame is a ubiquitous human experience. It is used in every culture to socialize children and to protect the tribe. Healthy shame has purpose, function and teaching us how to thrive in community. But toxic shame debilitates us and isolates us from humanity. It is different from other emotions. Our physiological reaction to shame helps us to maintain the interpersonal bridges that are imperative for our survival. It increases the likelihood of being embraced by and remaining a part of the tribe. It is the best solution for a seemingly impossible situation. But when shame is internalized and identified with, we spiral into self-loathing and form the belief that we are without value or purpose and therefor unlovable. Releasing the underpinning of toxic shame restores vibrancy, self-esteem, resilience and self-reliance.

  • Melting the Shame Freeze

We will talk about shame as a freeze state that affects both the body and the mind, turning attention inward towards a focus on “what’s wrong with me” and making it hard to function effectively. And we will look at ways the shame freeze can be melted.

  • Using the Self to Heal Wounded Parts
    2019/10/31
    Through my training with Virginia Satir and Richard Schwartz I have learned how to help people access their Self and to facilitate the healing of wounded parts by the Self. The Self is that energy space that holds within it the capacity for compassion, curiosity and wisdom. Once accessed, it can help the parts unburden themselves from the pain of trauma that they carry. This is extremely empowering because the person becomes a compassionate witness and healer for themselves and through the process integration occurs. Integration can be thought of as differentiating and linking. This means that the therapy process is one of helping people identify their parts and then link the Self to them so that healing can occur.

  • The Dark Side of Addiction: Shame, Trauma, Pain and Suffering
    2019/10/10
    This episode will explore addiction and the internal experiences of people who have lived in this kind of darkness, cast aside by family, friends and society both emotionally and physically. Shame is a destructive and debilitating shroud that is heavy, dark and excruciatingly difficult to overcome. Especially when one’s own behaviour and life choices play a part in developing shame. However as you will discover throughout this conversation, shame starts young and weaves its way into the unconscious psyche of these individuals setting them up to feel different before their own behaviour becomes to blame. Most people only see the external, focussing on the behaviour that is presented to the world, what is seen. Teresa shares some of her experience both personally and professionally of the actual internal conflict and suffering that is experienced in the darkness of addiction.
