Shame Competence for Trauma Informed Practitioners (April-June 25)Info Location Attendee Categories Contact More Info Event Information
DescriptionShame Competence for Trauma-Informed Practitioners delivered over four 2 hour online Modules from April to June 25 13:00-15:00. Mon 28th April, Mon 12th May, Mon 19th May, Mon 2nd June 2025 Training Overview Shame and trauma are inextricably bound together. Shame is a world-organising emotion for many trauma survivors, and shame is also behind much of the behaviours associated with trauma, post-traumatic stress and other post-trauma states. As a result, it is clear that trauma-informed practitioners will benefit from a deeper awareness and understanding of shame, along with competence about how to recognise and manage shame dynamics. Despite the clear links between shame and trauma, understanding shame has not traditionally been an explicit focus of trauma-informed approaches. Professor Luna Dolezal from the University of Exeter worked in collaboration with the Trauma Informed Plymouth Network (TIPN) to develop this innovative and evidence-based Shame Competence Training for Trauma-Informed Practitioners.
