Teacher: Dr. Chris Germer, Clinical psychologist and part-time lecturer at Harvard Medical School
Shame quietly shapes how we see ourselves, often making us go small, go silent, or withdraw entirely.
In this three-hour workshop, Dr. Chris Germer offers a compassion-centered lens for understanding shame and building practical tools to work with it as it arises in real life.
Main takeaways include:
- Theory of shame and research around it
- Three surprising paradoxes of shame
- Self-compassion as the antidote to shame & new practices to relieve the burden of shame
- Identify personal and cultural roots that lead to shame
- Open to the general public as well as professionals such as therapists, mindfulness teachers, and educators
- Resource-building workshop, not therapy
Registration includes 60 days of access to the event recording.
