Description
Shame is a pervasive source of misery for clients in DBT, and yet it can be difficult to identify and
even harder to treat. In this 90-minute webinar, we will look at how shame presents in the therapy
room, in clients’ lives, and on the chain to problem behaviors. We will explore shame’s relationship
with other emotions, like anger, guilt, disgust, and sadness. Finally, we will apply specific DBT
strategies and skills to targeting shame in Stage 1 DBT before treating historical trauma in Stage 2
