WORKING WITH SHAME ONLINE SATURDAY 6TH MAY 2023
Have you ever been plagued by voices of the past, silenced by shame? Or worked with a client that made you feel inadequate, or even ashamed that you struggled to help them with their issues?
"We live in an atmosphere of shame. We are ashamed of everything that is real about us; ashamed of ourselves, of our relatives, of our incomes, of our accents, of our opinion, of our experience, just as we are ashamed of our naked skins."
GEORGE BERNARD SHAW

The Stick and the Stone
It’s not the words that hurt,
it’s looking in the mirror;
The daily call to self-scar or curse,
Meeting the same cold loathing in the eyes
Every day of your diminished life.
That’s when you need to cast around
For the tiny, two-leaved seedling in the soil,
That emerald shoot of determination ―
Forcing its way up, drawn by the light:
Rained on, blown down, trodden in the wreck
But still there, holding on ― a little green god
That pipes up for living, that carols the spirit,
That insists upon life in its every increase;
Blessing all things ― including itself;
Opening its boughs to the wind and the sky,
Plunging its roots into ever-deeper darkness,
Singing into being the great tree of soul.
No, never the words ―
But the daily struggle at the mirror:
The unavoidable seeing of one’s self,
The turning of old scorns into tolerance;
Of tolerance into lenity, of lenity into joy ―
The slow internal alchemy that is love.
by William Ayot.

FEEDBACK FROM PREVIOUS PARTICIPANTS
This is such an important subject. Shame is the so deeply ingrained in our systems that often we are not consciously aware of how it operates in ourselves and our relationship dynamics. Sue did a great job to bring the subject to life and give it meaning and depth. Zena Me, Systemic Constellator
Shame is universal and so this training is useful for all counsellors. Sue is a knowledgeable sensitive and compassionate trainer and I would highly recommend this event for counsellors working with shame and understanding their own shame. Louise W. Counsellor
I highly recommend this workshop on Shame. Sue Parker Hall is very knowledgeable and created an informative, experiential and inclusive workshop. I now have many ideas and skills that I can use in my personal life and bring into my practice. Thank you Sue. Nicola Thompson, Psychotherapist
The quality of the training is always worthwhile and good value for money Anonymous
‘I can’t thank you enough for today.
I feel that it will be transformational for me’ Anonymous
