The Connections Workshop
A 12-session educational shame-resilience workshop.
The Connections workshop draws on evidenced based strategies to help you recognise shame as a universal experience and embrace authentic living as a foundation for shame resilience. Topics include
- Defining shame
- Practicing empathy
- Exploring triggers and vulnerabilities
- Practicing critical awareness
- Reaching out to others
- Creating, embracing, and inspiring change
Connections engages you on a cognitive, behavioural, and interpersonal level. You will learn via group and personal exercises, handouts, and reading assignments from Brene Brown’s best-selling books I thought It Was Just Me (but it isn’t): Telling the Truth About Perfectionism, Inadequacy, and Power.
