This 4-part introductory training is designed to help you recognize shame more accurately in the therapy room, understand how shame develops, and begin working with it through a more direct and compassionate clinical lens.
As you move through these lessons, you’ll be introduced to the core ideas that shape Tatra’s Transforming Shame approach, including the difference between shame and adaptive guilt, how shame forms through chronic misattunement and attachment rupture, and how protectors organize around core shame beliefs.
This course is meant to offer you a foundational map, not perfection. You may find yourself reflecting on your clients, your clinical patterns, and your own relationship to shame as you move through the material. You’re invited to go slowly, pause when needed, and allow the teaching to deepen over time.
By the end of this training, you’ll have a clearer framework for identifying shame in session and a stronger understanding of why shame can be so difficult to reach, even in the presence of care, attunement, and insight.
I’m so glad you’re here.
