Help yourself and your clients work through guilt and shame – it doesn’t have to hold you back

Online session

Feelings of guilt can keep us stuck in patterns of behaviour that serve no one. We often see this in clients who are on the brink of making big changes, but their feelings of guilt keep them from taking action and moving towards what they really want.

Shame is one of our most hidden emotions, and is rarely brought openly into the coaching space. This stance may be present for both coach and client, and can cause profound blocks to growth, effectiveness and fulfilment.

Do you feel equipped and able to work with both of these emotions? Many coaches avoid these topics, in the name of keeping the client ‘safe’, or not working in a ‘therapeutic’ way. But at what cost?

This session will bring robust understanding, clarity and compassion to these issues, to help you deal with it for yourself and your clients. It will enable you to explore the topic of guilt, and try out three exercises that will help your clients make the shifts needed for growth. We will also offer a live demonstration of an effective approach to working with shame. This will be followed by a discussion and reflective questions.

We will cover:

• Understanding the difference between guilt and shame and how they are related.
• Unpacking the constituents and impact of guilt.
• Three approaches to working effectively with guilt.
• An effective process for safely investigating shame.

This session will be interactive, and will help us discover ways to feel safe working with clients in these sensitive areas.

We are committed to making this work available to as many as possible, so if your income restrictions make this unaffordable, please contact us, as we have a small number of lower cost places available.
