This is number 2 in a series of 6 webinars, which can be taken as a complete series, or each one can be watched as a stand-alone talk

With its baggage of secrecy and judgement, shame is one of the more difficult facets of trauma that need to be unpacked in the therapist’s room. Its complexities and infectious nature can leave therapists feeling unsure and lacking confidence. This presentation provides ways to build bridges, reconnecting clients to themselves, their families and to others.

Psychosexual therapist Juliet Grayson, and award-winning poet William Ayot return with another series of their successful talks, exploring the many faces of shame. They combine examples from their lives, psychotherapeutic understandings and the unique insights of poetry, providing an engaging and authentic exploration of the subject. Ideal for practitioners and those who wish to explore their own issues in a safe way.
