​​​​​​​
with Special Guests

Stephen Finn, Terry Real, Lisa Ferentz, Mary Jo Barrett and Frank Anderson, MD

Spring & Summer 2019

Hi and Welcome,

We are undergoing a renaissance in the psychotherapy world and as a therapist you are at the center of it. We are seeing unprecedented breakthroughs and massive paradigm shifts in neuroscience, trauma resolution, somatic therapy, couples therapy, and mindfulness research!

For the first time ever we are going to be doing a deep dive into the topic of shame over the next 6 months because it is such a critical topic for all of us to master.

Shame is the hidden emotion that lurks under consciousness. Clients hide it and avoid it at all costs because of the massive pain it creates in their mind and life. It is also the underlying emotion that can be the source of so many dysfunctional behaviors including additions.

I want to invite you to join me and some of the world's leading experts as we look at shame in the therapy room.

Over the next 6 months we will be talking with:

- Stephen Finn, PhD - Understanding & Assessing Shame
- Terry Real, LMFT - How Shame Eats Intimacy and What to Do About It
- Lisa Ferentz, LCSW-C, DAPA - Shame and Trauma
- Mary Jo Barrett, MSW - Shame and Sexual Abuse
- Frank Anderson, MD - Internal Family Systems (IFS) for the Treatment of Addictions

Inside the Therapy Mastermind Circle our community is helping humanity grow and expand beyond what we ever thought possible.

I also believe that shame is a critical topic for us to bring to the surface and work with as a group together to learn from each other.

As a member you will receive monthly case studies and real life examples, and be part of a community with practicing therapists who are sharing and supporting each other…

AND, we will be giving you the most up-to-date techniques, knowledge, expert talks and trainings to take your practice and life to the next level.

I look forward to seeing you in our Therapy Mastermind Circle.

With Love, 
Dr. Diane Poole Heller

Dr. Diane Poole Heller
Working with Shame in the Therapy Room
We are starting a special 6-month training on working with shame with your clients. Shame is one of the emotions many clients in sessions will attempt to cover up or simply repress because the pain is too severe. It can present itself in a myriad of different ways to mask its true nature but if you know what you are looking for it can be the key to getting to the cause of many long standing issues. Topics we will explore include:
  • Signs that shame exists and how to uncover it
  • Understanding the role of shame in trauma situations
  • Working with shame in couples therapy settings
  • How to work with shame as a powerful catalyst for growth and true transformation

Join a World-Class Community 
 of Therapy Experts and Practitioners!​​​​​​​

SPRING & SUMMER MODULE: APRIL-SEPTEMBER
 
Shame: Healing Hidden Wounds
 

Working with shame can often be a slippery slope. As soon as we feel the shame arising, there is such a strong need to cover it up, hide it, or disconnect from it. In this course, therapists will learn how to create a strong therapeutic alliance and an environment of safety so that clients are able to excavate hidden shame and heal. Therapists will learn to identify the behaviors, limitations, and often not so obvious clues that indicate shame symptoms. The relationship between client and therapist is inherently asymmetrical, so it is important for us as practitioners to be hyper-aware of how shame manifests. 
​​​​​​​
Once the patterns have been identified, you can then work with strategies and physiological sequences that will emphasize connection and help you sensitively avoid shaming clients in a session. With this course, you will be able to help your clients uncover ways to shift out of toxic shame and reclaim a healthy sense of personal power and assertiveness.

APRIL
Shame versus Guilt

​​​​​​​Understand the difference between shame and guilt, as well as the clinical implications of each, so that you can create an environment of safety that allows these feelings to be excavated. Additionally, we'll explore healthy and toxic shame, and the challenges that each type brings.
MAY
How Shame Manifests in Therapy, the Body & Relationships

Learn how to help clients reintegrate the lost parts of themselves so that they can enjoy a more satisfying human experience. We'll also look at the behaviors and limitations that are characteristic of shamed adults and how to alleviate those patterns so that they can heal their intimate relationships.
JUNE
Unburdening the Body, Empowering Clients & Avoiding Shaming in Sessions
​​​​​​​

Developmental Stages of Healthy and Toxic Shame: Recovering the True Self & Tips for Relationships and Parenting

​​​​​​​Discover the ways in which healthy shame can be leveraged to aid the healing process and move your clients toward self-acceptance and self-love. We’ll discuss strategies for exploring the developmental stages and look at tips for effectively bringing them into a relationship. ​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
AUGUST
The Role of Shame in Trauma, Power Dynamics and Physical & Sexual Abuse

​​​​​​​Learn ways to help your clients restore a healthy sense of personal power and assertiveness by focusing on re-regulating the autonomic nervous system.  This work is important to ensure that you avoid reproducing an environment that might be triggering to a traumatized client.
SEPTEMBER
Trauma, Addiction & Emotional Abuse

​​​​​​​Identify the ways in which addiction can become a substitute for secure attachment, and learn to support your clients as they work to heal from the genetic predispositions and structural brain changes that can keep them trapped in addiction.
