Do
you find yourself pretending, wearing a mask, or using walls as protection
because someone might see the ‘real’ you? Are you a perfectionist, hoping that
if you can get things just right, you will no longer have to be afraid? Do you
try too hard to please others? Do you experience symptoms such as pains, tics
or stuttering that have no physical explanation? Do you find yourself blowing up, and wondering
why? If you answered ‘yes’ to any of these questions, this group is for you!
This
is an in-depth group therapy program that will offer you the opportunity to
recognize shame, examine it from a personal and cultural perspective, understand
how you currently cope with shame, and learn how to become resilient to shame
in order to live more authentically. The curriculum was designed by Brene`
Brown and incorporates the information in her book “I Thought It Was Just Me.”
This group is offered four times a year and can be attended with or without current individual sessions.
