In today's podcast, David and Jill describe their new workshop
on Overcoming Toxic Shame. This workshop will feature video
snippets from a fantastic session with a beloved colleague named
Melanie who struggled with intense feelings of anxiety and shame
for more than 8 years. You will see her transformation from utter
despair to joy in a single therapy session lasting roughly two
hours, and you will get the chance to learn and practice the
techniques that were so transformative for her.
Most mental health professionals also struggle with feelings of
shame because of their belief that they aren't "good enough" and
from fears of being found out. You will have the chance to heal
yourself while you master cool new techniques to transform the
lives of your patients!
In today's podcast, David and Jill do a live demonstration of a
couple of the many techniques they will illustrate on February,
which will include the Paradoxical Double Standardl Technique,
Externalization of Voices, and the Feared Fantasy. You will not
only witness a remarkable change in Melanie, as well as a sudden,
severe and unexpected relapse half way through the session. David
ang Jill will ask, "If you were the therapist, what would you do
right now?" What follows is AMAZING!
Jill practices and serves as the Director of Training at the
Feeling Good
Institute in Mountain View California. She is
also co-leader of my Tuesday evening weekly training group at
Stanford (now entirely virtual). This group is totally free and is
available to mental health professional in the Bay Area and around
the world.
