​

Shame often separates one from a relationship with others - it is the basis for much self-destructive behavior including self-attack, addictive behavior, envy, rage, martyrdom, and the hiding of one's talents.  We are also vulnerable to collective shame.  This presentation will explore some of the developmental and archetypal roots of shame, and strategies for healing this painful state.

 

Course objectives:

• Describe the developmental roots of shame and how it can manifest in self-destructive behavior.

• Describe the archetypal roots of shame and how it can manifest as collective shame.
