OVERVIEW:
The consequences of shame can be devastating and may lead to long-term risk-taking behaviors, including elevated risks of suicidality. Chronic self-worth issues and relationship problems all reflect attachment challenges experienced by individuals dealing with the affects of shame. In addition, the compounding effects of shame can lead to maladaptive coping responses, increasing the risk of comorbid disorders such as chronic physical and mental health problems. Clinicians have the unique privilege of helping individuals mitigate these harmful effects and reduce the impact of shame.
Dr. Peterson will explain the unique dynamics of shame within Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Questioning, and Other Identities (LGBTQ+), and how individuals can become their own worst enemies. He will describe how shame is a set of unattainable expectations that develop from notions of “normalcy,” and the risk of social rejection. He will also demonstrate how assessment instruments, including the “Trauma Related Shame Inventory,” “The Trauma Appraisal Questionnaire,” and “Test of Self-Conscious Affect,” can aid in revealing the connection between external events and internalized shame.
Attendees will learn to identify those at greater risk and how individuals attempt to reduce shame through both adaptive and maladaptive responses. He will share models such as the compass of shame and attunement concepts that illustrate how the judgment behind shame becomes a form of self-inflicted trauma. Dr. Peterson will share best practices including trauma-informed and resiliency-based strategies that can help clients develop intrapersonal acceptance needed to lessen the impact of shame.
