Clinical Shame: therapeutic issues unpacked
With speakers Dr Olga Cox Cameron, Elaine Martin, Dr Rosaleen McElvaney
Saturday 10 March 2018 - Dublin
Shame frequently reflects a deeply meaningful struggle within the self, and yet often precludes being witnessed by others, inhabiting the mind as an invisible default position in which the person feels chronically inadequate, unlovable and at fault. Though usually considered an emotion, shame is more accurately a condition of the self, which can severely restrict the individual's capacity for engagement with life, and which operates as an oppressive and accusing shadow in that person's mind.
This seminar will allow reflection on the experience of shame and how it might be encountered in the psychotherapy relationship. We will explore how this sense of self originates in early encounters - often abusive and humiliating - that diminish a sense of worth and that go on to shape identity, behaviour and relationships. First placing the discussion in cultural and historical contexts that exploit and intensify feelings of humiliation, the speakers will offer insights into how the therapist can identify and help the client or patient to become aware of their shame-states, find language for these, place them in the context of past-relationships and work towards shame-free responses to the self and other in which they develop a more realistic sense of self-worth.
