Shame affects us all…often in ways we might not expect.
Shame prevents you from truly knowing yourself and sharing your gifts with the world.
It keeps you small and invisible, afraid to fully explore the parts of your soul that are yearning to be brought forward and celebrated.
In this seminar, David Bedrick, author, teacher, and mental health expert, will help you understand how shame shows up—and offer a revolutionary, stigma-free model to help us unshame with love, curiosity and compassion.
When you learn how to Unshame, you transform the internal viewpoint you have about yourself.

Presenter
David Bedrick, JD, Dipl. PW, is a teacher, counselor, and attorney. He grew up in a family marked by violence. While his father’s brutality was physical and verbal, his mother’s denial and gaslighting had its own covert power. This formative context introduced David early to the etiology of shame and instilled an urge to unshame.
Professionally, he was on the faculty for the University of Phoenix and the Process Work Institute in the U.S. and Poland and is the founder of the Santa Fe Institute for Shame-based
Studies where he trains therapists, coaches and healers and offers workshops for individuals to further their own personal development.
David writes for Psychology Today and is the author of three books: Talking Back to Dr. Phil: Alternatives to Mainstream Psychology and Revisioning Activism: Bringing Depth, Dialogue, and Diversity to Individual and Social Change. His new book is You Can’t Judge a Body by Its Cover: 17 Women’s Stories of Hunger, Body Shame and Redemption.
His new book, The Unshaming Way, was published by North Atlantic books in November 2024.
The Therapy and Social Change (TaSC) Network is a broad affiliation of people interested in exploring the interface between therapeutic ideas and practices and social justice perspectives and actions. We are interested both in the ways that counselling and psychotherapy can be practiced with social justice concerns in mind (for instance, tackling unconscious biases in the consulting room), and also in the ways that therapeutic principles and practices can be extended out to the wider social realm (for instance, developing social and emotional literacy in schools).
