Description
This experiential-educational workshop allows participants to explore a different perspective on Shame, in what is perhaps one of the most difficult, challenging and controversial emotions. Peeling off the layers so that this more authentic shame can be unmasked – and the result of this authentic display on both the ashamed individuals and those who witness it – allows us to see how shame could operate to restore and build the social connections that are essential for mental and physical health and a functioning community. The experiential workshop on working with shame – seeing it as normal, functional, healthy rather than something to be avoided, and as the primary social emotion – has been been shared with over 2,000 people in Australia and New Zealand, many of whom have adapted this to their work with men and boys, families and communities.
