Description

Our clients work hard to bounce back from stress and reverse the impacts of trauma, only to have those efforts derailed time and time again by relentless negative self-talk, corrosive inner shaming-blaming, and the endless pummeling of a harsh inner critic. Fortunately, therapists can learn to empower clients to rewire the neural circuity of those behaviours and shift the inner critic to become the inner advisor. In this experiential recording, you’ll discover how to:

  • Help clients develop the self-awareness, self-compassion, and self-acceptance—across  diverse modalities—that heals toxic shame
  • Use the ABC model (aware, allow, accept, be with, be-friend, compassion, curiosity) to work with all disruptive thoughts and emotions
  • Use memory deconsolidation-reconsolidation to rewire seemingly intractable negative self-beliefs
  • Create inner resources of Wiser Self dialogues to retire the inner critic and reassure the exiled inner child
