Description
“Did I sound stupid?” “Should I have sent that email?” “How do I look?” Why do we, and our clients, spend so much time feeling self-conscious and comparing ourselves to others? Why do we struggle so to live up to inner ideals or outer standards, only to regularly feel not good enough and ashamed of our shortcomings or stressed-out trying to keep our self-esteem afloat?
The assumption that we can find lasting happiness by being more successful, likable, attractive, intelligent, or morally above reproach is so woven into our biology and culture that few of us notice it’s not actually true. Sure, having success or otherwise getting to think highly of ourselves feels good—it just isn’t long before we hit a bump in the road, lose the feeling, and are left hungry for the next boost.
Particularly in the age of Facebook and Instagram, we need a way to free ourselves, and our clients, from the anxiety, depression, addictions, and stress-related disorders that arise from continuous self-evaluation and social comparison.
This experiential, interactive webinar will zero in on how we and our clients can begin to step off the self-evaluation roller coaster. We’ll explore techniques to navigate failure, rejection, and shame while developing stronger relationships and greater comfort with vulnerability—tailoring techniques to clients with both secure and challenged attachment histories and a wide variety of disorders.
Learning Objectives
At the conclusion of the workshop, attendees will be better able to —
- Describe research in evolutionary psychology, illuminating the origins and dynamics of self-evaluative preoccupation
- Identify techniques to reinforce the experiential rather than narrative self
- Specify the three core human motivational systems and how compassion practices serve to balance them
