A topic that is commonly raised in supervision is around a clients self-loathing and perpetual destructive patterns, with questions of: how do I help my client to like themselves more?
Workshop Details
With trauma, and particularly complex, relational trauma, where a person has experienced significant depravations whilst growing up, a common internalised belief is: I am bad. This belief goes through to the core and is re-enforced by a bullying inner critic. Trauma-shame is deep rooted! This can often mean that a persons self-esteem has never really lifted off; it’s a missing resource OR their self-esteem has been slowly grated away over time.
In this workshop you’ll learn:
- what can lead to trauma-shame
- how this links to destructive patterns with self and others
- how we can bring psycho-education in to help our clients to understand what happened to them
- and exercises to support your client to move towards self-compassion and acceptance
