Free Yourself from the Grip of Shame

A 3-Hour Recorded Workshop with Dr. Jeffrey Rutstein

Enrollment includes lifetime access to the full replay recording and materials.

Shame can convince us that we're broken, bad, or unlovable—but that simply isn’t true. The good news, teaches trauma expert Dr. Jeffrey Rutstein, is that shame can be healed. 

In this in-depth ondemand workshop, you'll join Dr. Rutstein as he guides you through the essential principles and practices for restoring the wholeness and felt sense of authentic self-acceptance.

Shame is one of the most powerful (and often invisible) forces that limits our capacity for connection, joy, and fulfillment. It convinces us that our value is conditional, that we must earn love, and that our imperfections disqualify us from belonging.

But shame is not truth. It is a learned pattern. And it can be unlearned.

In this 3-hour ondemand workshop, Dr. Jeffrey Rutstein gently guides you into a clear understanding of how shame takes hold in the nervous system … how it shapes your beliefs about who you are … and how to begin releasing its grip with presence, self-compassion, and gentle practices.

In This Workshop, You’ll Learn How To:

• Understand the roots of shame and why it is so persistent

• Identify how shame manifests in your thoughts, body, and relationships

• Recognize the nervous system states that reinforce shame

• Apply practical tools to meet shame with self-compassion and awareness

• Reclaim your sense of worth, safety, and connection

A Closer Look: Why This Work Matters

Shame doesn’t just live in the mind—it takes hold in the body. It often shows up as a quiet undercurrent of withdrawal, collapse, fearful tension, or hypervigilance. And it can subtly shape how you show up in relationships, how you pursue your goals, and how much joy you allow yourself to feel.

In this workshop, Dr. Rutstein will help you:

• Shine a compassionate light on the trance of shame, and how it distorts self-perception

• Recognize the unconscious protective patterns that keep us stuck in shame

• Work with shame somatically, in the body, using gentle tools for nervous system awareness and regulation

• Call up self-acceptance and compassion, especially in moments of self-judgment or emotional pain

• Begin to restore trust in your own inner goodness and capacity for healing

Is it time to give yourself the gift of compassionate awareness, proven practices, and a felt sense of freedom that comes when we're freed from the grip of shame? Yes, you are absolutely worthy of this work, and we hope you'll take part in this healing process.
