Shame is a wound of not belonging. It leaves you feeling like an exile; a stranger in a strange land. An important key to healing from shame is recognizing that inside of your embarrassment, sense of failure, or experience of rejection lies your undeniably legitimate human needs for connection, kindness, acceptance, and love. In this master class with Dr. Arielle Schwartz, we will take a look at the origins of shame and how to work with this therapeutically to cultivate a sense of compassionate connection to Self.
