building shame resilience:
Establishing a Safe Home Base Within
IN-PERSON GROUP WORKSHOP
TBD | 10AM - 4PM [PST]
workshop description
Shame is a universally painful emotion and experience.
Everyone has it and we’re all born with the capacity to feel shame. It’s at the root of our negative core beliefs and feelings that “there’s something wrong with me” or “I’m not good enough.”
However, not everyone can recognize or be aware of their feelings of shame because shame tends to hide behind defense mechanisms and bind with other emotions, such as fear and anger.
If shame is left unacknowledged and unprocessed, it can trap a person into a shame spiral, creating endless painful cycles of anxiety, depression, self-shaming, and self-defeating behaviors.
Fortunately, we don’t have to struggle with shame alone.
In this experiential workshop, participants will learn to build shame resilience by connecting with and embodying their strengths through a combination of guided exercises, action methods, group sharing, and lectures.
No experience with experiential methods is necessary, just an open mind and the willingness to try new things!

What Clients Say
“I loved that it was very interactive and experiential.
I loved that Quynh's energy was welcoming, pace, tone of voice were all very mindful. I also enjoyed our small group today which made it more intimate.
I would recommend this workshop because it focused on our strengths which helped me to realize how powerful and resilient we are. To be made aware of and given tools to help us resource our strengths is life-changing as we navigate any experience in life. I am walking away from this experience feeling more integrated and received healing."

“It was incredibly embodied and human.
I haven't experienced anything quite like it before, especially with the intention of healing. This workshop has given me language to describe the things that provide me shame, and also the ability to name and source strength from within myself and in others/objects.
This was such a wonderful experience! Quynh is such a generous facilitator. The combination of knowledge sharing and practice provided a full workshop experience that created space for true emotion and true healing to take place. It was a delight to experience the magic of art and psychodrama this way. "
