An introduction to shame and shame containment theory
An Introduction to Shame and Shame Containment Theory, presented by Lisa Etherson, Psychosexual Therapist and PhD Researcher
Introducing a fresh perspective on shame through shame containment theory, this training provides an innovative approach to understanding and working with shame. Through the shame containment theory lens, we provide practical insights into why we have shame from the perspective of attachment and how shame is a vital emotion that is needed for survival.
In this 2 hours training on shame containment theory, we will explore the fundamental five components that constitute the bedrock of this theory:
- attachment injuries
- contained shame
- uncontained shame
- shame containment strategies
- re-containment strategies
Through this learning experience, you will gain an understanding of these concepts, enabling you to recognise and navigate the intricate landscape of shame experienced by your clients.
