PERSPECTIVES ON SHAME
Presented by: Gladney University
Carol Park, LPC will be back at Gladney to provide a training, Perspectives on Shame. You may remember that she was here back in July presenting on Empathy. Carol will again utilize the work of Brené Brown, who has authored The Gifts of Imperfection, Daring Greatly and Rising Strong. Brené is a research professor in the Graduate College of Social Work at the University of Houston where she primarily focuses on research around shame, vulnerability, courage and empathy.
Brené Brown’s work is a highly experiential methodology based on her research. Her method is designed for work with individuals, couples, families, work teams, and organizational leaders. It can be facilitated in clinical, educational, and professional settings. Today we will explore shame.
