TISCUK Skills Training: Causes of Low Self Esteem and Self Hate

Living with self-criticism, shame, and self-loathing is deeply painful. This skill-based training day with Dr. Margot Sunderland explores how these feelings stem from trauma-based shame and/or unmet emotional needs, leaving children and young people feeling unlovable, unseen, and unworthy.

Through real-life case studies and practical interventions, Dr. Sunderland will show how emotionally available adults who provide empathy, connection and collaborative sense-making can transform self-hate into self-compassion. Participants will learn how to help young people reflect on their lives, in ways that build long-term embodied self-worth. Join us for an inspiring and deeply moving session on how compassionate, relationship-based interventions can truly change lives.
