Working with shame: The UnShaming Way
Shame can be one of the most deeply rooted and limiting emotional experiences for our clients.
In this two-hour workshop, teacher and counsellor David Bedrick, JD, Dipl. PW (USA) will guide us through the UnShaming Way - a practical, compassionate approach to working with shame in therapeutic settings.
“In this astute work, David Bedrick provides a deep investigation of shame, the most debilitating of our mind states, and offers a workable, practice-based and accessible path to divesting ourselves from it.” - Gabor Maté
In this free webinar you will:
Discover what un-shaming is and why it is the key to client's healing, and the unfolding of their gifts and “medicine."
Learn about the root causes of shame and its aetiology in early experiences of trauma.
Experience the un-shaming process in real time. (People say that David's modelling of UnShaming can be an eye opening and life changing moment.)
Learn how un-shaming addresses the issues your client’s bring, from anxiety and depression, to painful life patterns.
Develop a keen awareness of how shame distorts client language and narratives through case presentations.

Testimonials
I cherish the UnShaming space David is able to create. It is clear that he lives what he teaches.
David Bedrick is a gentle warrior. His methodology is phenomenal. The most kind, soft, powerful vehicle I’ve ever encountered to heal trauma and release shame. I wish everyone would adopt this way of helping people through pain.
As a healing and self-development junkie, I’ve learned and practiced every tool under the sun to try to alleviate the pain of shame, and the way it constantly obstructed my ability to go after what I want. But here’s the truth. In all those years, all that the best tools offered me was temporary relief from shame. I actually could not believe I could un-shame. I still cry, thinking about the freedom and power I found afterward.
I’m savouring every moment of being in the program, and slowly feeling those deep internalised beliefs and voices shift. This is life- changing work and the reverberations are enormous.
Profound and nurturing. The UnShaming workshop with David is a catalyst for deep learning. I was able to truly be with my body in a safe space of my own creation.
