OVERVIEW
Core unhealthy shame is a major source of psychological distress and human suffering. Shame results in feelings of worthlessness and self- contempt, difficulties in interpersonal relationships, and problematic emotions such as unhealthy anger or rage. In contrast, assertive healthy anger is helpful and therapeutic to change core shame. As a therapist, knowing how to access assertive anger is fundamental in transforming shame as is accessing the sadness of grief related to childhood unmet needs.
Through the psychotherapeutic process, adaptive emotions are accessed to transform maladaptive emotions, and the therapist helps clients to develop positive identity and relationship narratives. This workshop is based on Emotion-Focused Therapy’s flexible treatment tenets and principles of change which can be viewed as a transdiagnostic approach to treatment, across many clinical populations and has been demonstrated to be an empirically validated approach to treatment.
LEARNING OBJECTIVES
This workshop is designed by Dr. Leslie Greenberg, an international leader in the field of psychotherapy and emotion, and it is tailored for licensed mental health professionals and graduate students from various training backgrounds who have training in psychotherapy. This workshop describes emotion change principles to transform shame with anger and teaches participants how to use specific interventions to work with shame and anger to transform shame. In addition to didactic presentation of theory and discussion with participants, excerpts of a newly released APA in-person therapy video series on working with shame and anger will be used throughout to teach participants how to apply therapy interventions.
Participants will be able to:
- Describe emotion change principles to transform maladaptive shame to healthy anger, and then to healthy sadness of grief.
- Use intervention for self-criticism to activate core maladaptive shame.
- Use intervention for age regression to activate and deepen core maladaptive shame, and transform it healthy adaptive anger.
- Use intervention for age regression to access childhood unmet needs and the healthy sadness of grief.
- Help clients bypass secondary rage or hopelessness.
- Help clients who have difficulty accessing their emotions.
- Help clients develop new meaning and narratives, and re-story their experience.
