Shame, Pride, and Relational Trauma: Concepts and Psychotherapy
Saturday, September 10th @ 9:00 AM -12:00 PM, 3CE
Shame and pride emotions and traumatic states are central in psychotherapy with relational trauma (RT). Shame, pride, and dissociation; “pro-being pride”, an antidote to shame states; shame state reactivity and therapeutic responsivity; and psychotherapy with a RT survivor moving from shame state to pro-being pride, are all discussed with participants.
