WE HAVE FOUND THAT MANY THERAPISTS, FEMALE AND MALE, HAVE TROUBLE SPOTTING, UNDERSTANDING AND WORKING WITH MALE SHAME.
While no one has an easy time with shame, and many societies don’t really want to acknowledge it, for many men it can be especially hard. Men often don't even realize that they feel shame. They may suddenly find themselves shouting or blaming someone else, or pulling away and stonewalling, without having access to the underlying shame. They may find themselves depressed and isolated, without really knowing why.
The action tendency of shame is to freeze, hide, vanish, disappear. Men are often socialized to take action and “deal.” Shame makes this very hard to do. The solution many men find to shame is to not feel or acknowledge it—to react against it without being aware of the underlying cause of their actions.
This workshop will help you discover and address the invisible shame in many men. You will learn how to countershame them and invite them to join you rather than fight you when shame is activated in the session. We offer tools and languaging that will move men into curiosity about the shame underlying thoughts and behaviors. When we get them onboard with recognizing and accepting that they have shame, as everyone does, we can help them take steps to explore and heal.
