Shame Resilience Theory in Supervision (1.0 CE)Webinar with Noelle R. St. Germain-Sehr, Ph.D., NCC, LPC-S, ACMHP & Amanda M. St. Germain-Sehr, Ph.D., LPC-S, MT-BC Human beings are wired to connect (Brown, 2007; Fishbane, 2007). Counseling effectiveness is related to counselors’ ability to connect and empathically attune with clients (Cozolino, 2002). Shame impairs our ability to connect, internally and with others (Brown, 2007). Shame involves psychological, social, and cultural components, including feeling inadequate and wanting to hide. This may manifest as reluctance to self-disclose, avoidance, and resistance in relationships, especially in educational and supervisory relationships, which expose one’s personal and professional weaknesses and uncertainties (Bilodeau, Savard, & Lecomte, 2012; Brown, 2006; DeLong & Kahn, 2014). Though shame may result in disconnection, shame resilience protects connection - with the self and with others (Brown, 2012). Shame resilience theory (SRT) (Brown, 2006) provides a conceptual model of shame resilience with applicability to counselor education and supervision. The primary goal of this presentation is to provide participants with an overview of SRT and its application to counselor education and supervision as a means of increasing shame resilience.
