“I really enjoyed Kevin's workshop on Hidden Shame and particularly how shame is unique and is different from other emotions. The learning from this workshop I believe will benefit my practice in terms of what to avoid when dealing with hidden shame and what works best. Kevin's depth of knowledge, passion and humour always makes his workshops a great experience.”

“Trainer was excellent, easy to listen to, very knowledgeable but not in an overpowering way, loved his examples and clear passion for the topic at hand .. course length was perfect. I certainly felt like I came away with a much deeper understanding of shame and how multi-faceted it is .. I will definitely bring this training into my work and feel more confident in doing so.”

"I found the workshop hugely informative and was immersed from beginning to end.  It was fascinating how the impact of being shamed, especially during childhood developmental stages can impact so hugely on "the self". I learnt so much about the difference between shame and guilt and feel that I can now work from a far more informed place when working with clients presenting with hidden shame. The role of validation in working with such clients and the emphasis placed on the do's and don'ts and the rationale for same will be hugely beneficial to me and my clients moving forwards. Overall, hugely informative, enjoyable and beneficial."
