Course description: Shame in the treatment of substance use disorders and mental health conditions is very common. Shame becomes the very state of being that one goes to great lengths to avoid, and by doing so, most often they end up reinforcing the very feelings that they wish to no longer experience. Shame is often talked about and not truly understood as it is difficult to fully comprehend an emotion that is not often talked about. This presentation will cover how to identify shame, understand what influences shame, and how to help support your client resolve shame through self-compassion.
