AUDIO CD Program: Healing Shame: How to Work with This Powerful, Mysterious Emotion?and Transform It into an Ally [B0663]

2021 unabridged 7 audio CDs in original case, all in excellent condition. In Healing Shame, Sheila Rubin and Dr. Bret Lyon ask the question: What if your shame - that awful, overwhelming emotion - could work for you instead of sabotaging your well-being? "Shame is at the root of depression, trauma, addiction, eating disorders, and perfectionism," they teach. "When we go to extremes to keep our vulnerabilities hidden, our very efforts keep us stuck. But when we develop a healthy relationship with this complex emotion, we find freedom and healing." This is an empowering exploration of shame-where it comes from and how we can heal.

For almost two decades, Lyon and Rubin have been leading the effort to educate psychotherapists on how to more effectively work with shame. With this new audio program, they make their most important teachings available to everyone. Through six dynamic, practice-filled sessions, you'll explore topics such as the difference between shame and other difficult emotions, sex and relationships, the body and aging, childhood trauma, and more. Finally, you'll learn how to have a healthy relationship with shame, cultivating safe boundaries, strength, and resilience. A married couple who have made peeling back the layers of shame their life's work, Lyon and Rubin bring great compassion to their teachings. With humor and hope, they'll help you understand how to transform toxic shame into healthy shame, so you can go from feeling stuck, wrong, and fearful to creative, whole, and empowered.

From Amazon/GoodReads reviews: "This is one of the most powerful and transformative audiobooks I've come across for mental health. I realized recently that shame is at the root of so much suffering - in my case, anxiety and OCD in particular. Bret and Sheila lay out both the mechanisms of shame and ways to deal with it in a manner that is efficient and yet super warm and highly engaging. Their energy comes through so clearly in the recording. Their techniques are largely secular and practical, and their words help humanize the condition of toxic shame, which can feel so alienating. I'm truly grateful to them for this audiobook and have been sharing it with many friends. If there's any part of you that experiences shame regularly, or was heavily shamed in your past (particularly childhood, as a result of your home or social environment), this audiobook is the best tool I have found for understanding and dealing with it."
