There's a powerful psychological state that can paralyze us, interfere with effective relationships, block our empathy, and cause us to inflict harm. It's called shame.Today, David Bedrick shares what shame is, how it's created, and its connection to trauma. Some say shame keeps us humble, but David shares why we don't need shame because it's not the same as embarrassment or regret. We unpack why shame is not a feeling but a psychological state that can leave you numb - and how you can instead create a space of safety and security within yourself. David shares how we can snap out of a shame spiral in the moment and also gives insights as to why some people may feel a need to shame others. David makes us think about our need to “solve,” or pathologize as he puts it, shame, anger, depression, and the like rather than process root causes to make meaning. He offers an intriguing thought experiment to try to break yourself of this tendency! Lastly, we touch on how to unashame conflict and dialogue through conflict in a more productive way. To access the episode transcript, please search for the episode title at www.TheEmpathyEdge.comKey Takeaways:Shame is different from embarrassment or humiliation. Shame is a psychological state that may have feelings associated with it. Negative feelings are not bad - they can even be helpful for understanding our behavior and lead us to making an action toward repair. Say the criticisms in your head aloud from the perspective of the negatives - it gives you a chance to respond and advocate for yourself. "If shame enters my system, the only thing I care about is removing the bad experience I have in myself. I don't care about you. I care about being low. In the fully shame psyche, you don't exist as a person that matters to me at all." — David Bedrick, JD, Dipl.

Welcome to episode 57 of the MindThatEgo Podcast and the first of a new series on dreams. I'm joined by David Bedrick, the founder of the Santa Fe Institute for Shame-based Studies, where he trains therapists, coaches and healers, and offers workshops for individuals.David graduated from the Process Work Institute and has been adjunct faculty for over 15 years. He studied under Arny Mindell, the founder of process-oriented psychology. Mindell was a student of Carl Jung, who integrated physics and the body into Jung's work. David also taught psychology and philosophy courses at the University of Phoenix.His latest book, The Unshaming Way, is the focus of today's conversation. Topics include: common misconceptions of shame, trauma-based and cultural origins of shame, the healing power of an unshaming witness, the intelligence of bodily experience, unshamed views of madness, depression and mental illness, expressing and learning from big emotions, the “dreambody” as a metaphor for inner processes, and why dreams naturally provide an unshamed view. Enjoy.---David's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/david.bedrick/?hl=enDavid's YouTube: https://youtube.com/@davidbedrick3872?si=o1WhsyD64qPnh4KT---
On this episode of The Karen Kenney Show, I had the honor and delight of speaking with one of my teachers and mentors, David Bedrick!David is a teacher, counselor, attorney, and the founder of The Sante Fe Institute for Shame-based Studies.He's also the author of four books and on this episode, we discuss his latest: THE UNSHAMING WAY - A Compassionate Guide to Dismantling Shame.This fantastic book addresses how to heal from shame, unlearn self-blame, and reclaim your story.As someone who has been deeply impacted by his work on shame and the unshaming process, I was super excited to dive into a rich conversation about vulnerability, trauma, and the power of authentic expression. We also explored the profound impact of violence, childhood trauma, and how the internalization of shame can shape our adult experiences. Perhaps most importantly, David shared his unique approach to "unshaming," which involves genuine curiosity and a deep respect for each person's sacred story. Rather than trying to fix or change someone, he invites them to fully inhabit and express their authentic selves - a process that often unlocks hidden gifts and strengths. One of the surprising key moments for me was when David and I both reflected on how we were once labeled as "shy" kids, when in reality, we were simply responding to fear and a lack of safety!I've benefited immensely from this work, and now I'm so happy to get to share David and these insights with you.I'd love to hear your favorite and most impactful takeaways, too!KEY POINTS:• The power of vulnerability and transparency in building trust and safety• How childhood trauma can lead to internalized shame and self-criticism• Reframing "shyness" as a response to fear - rather than a personality trait• David Bedrick's definition of shame as a viewpoint, not just a feeling• The transformative potential of authentic expression and the "unshaming" process• The exacerbating role of systemic oppression in fueling internalized shame• The Nest - Group Mentoring Program DAVID'S BIO: David Bedrick, JD, Dipl. PW, is a teacher, counselor, and attorney. He grew up in a family marked by violence.

Today I'm in conversation with Heike Hamann. Heike was born in Tanzania, East Africa to German parents, and lived in England, Papua New Guinea and Germany before moving to Australia as a teenager. She is currently the custodian of a beautiful property in Tyagarah, in the Northern Rivers, surrounded by nature and close to the ocean. Heike has been sailing, running, bushwalking and paragliding to name but a few of her sporting activities, and has represented Australia as a runner and paragliding pilot. She graduated from the Process Work Institute in Portland Oregon with two Process Oriented Psychology Masters, and works in private practice as a psychotherapist. She is constantly astounded and amazed by the magic and deep transformation that happens when people's processes are lovingly and attentively followed, and the depth of wisdom that each of us has, is accessed. Connection is important to Heike. Connection to the Divine, to Herself and herself, to Nature, to her partner, friends and family and to community. These days she loves having spaciousness in her life, which facilitates this connection. She loves sailing with hump back whales – so much so that she bought herself a boat late last year and has been living and sailing on it along the east coast of Australia and Tasmania for the last 12 months. The journey has helped her grow more and more into a place of trusting Life, and the feeling of being held and loved unconditionally (by Below and Above, – aka Mother Earth and the Divine). We talked about three levels of reality; working with pain and body symptoms; the impact of living in many places on the making of a person; belonging; slowing down; loneliness; inner knowing and her very special encounter with whales.

Teacher, counselor, and attorney David Bedrick has developed a profound method for helping people unshame their shame. In this third episode of our short non-grad series of four, David and Drew dive deep into a conversation about the true nature of shame and how to heal it through what David calls Unshaming. While David is not a graduate of the Process, his work is very closely aligned with the work of the Process. As David says, "Shame is an internalized vision of oneself. It creates feelings, but they are not feelings." According to David, to heal shame, someone must truly witness us. In telling our story of what happened, we need to be heard, seen, and understood. We need to be humanized, not stigmatized or pathologized. He says we must be "witnessed for being a human being who's been through an experience. That's unshaming. That's humanizing." We hope you enjoy this profound conversation on the nature of healing shame with David and Drew. **This episode mentions physical and sexual violence and may not be suitable for all listeners.

As mentioned in this episode: The Wounded Healer Archetype Elisabeth Kübler-Ross: “The most beautiful people we have known are those who have known defeat, known suffering, known struggle, known loss, and have found their way out of the depths.

Beautiful people do not just happen.” Dr. Larry Nassar Somatic Brené Brown Allopathic medicine

Let the dream roll begin! Dave and Laura welcome UK based shaman Evelyn McDonald on board the Dream Boat with her drum, rattle and incense, and drift off into the shamanic dream space. Eve talks about her work as a medicine woman, an ancient spiritual healing practice at the heart of many indigenous cultures since the beginning of time. She had the gift as a child growing up in Grenada and was finally called to follow its healing path after a career in the corporate world when she came to the U.K. The team looks at how shamanic practice links with Lucid Dreaming and the work of Arnie Mindell who wrote the Dreaming Body and runs the Process Work Institute in the US. They enter the shamanic consciousness, a dreamy world of dream journeys, soul retrievals and vision quests, all to the beat of Eve's amazing drum and rattle. (Dave is drummed into a trance pretty early on!) Prepare to be transported into another realm. The Dream of the Week opens up the universe of creation held in an enormous sphere as we enter the cosmic dance. This is a dream space of harmony and oneness with Eve's shamanic interpretation of attunement and vibration. Dave and Laura absorb the dream's deeper message before Eve and Dave rattle and drum out the session. Your dreams are fascinating, too.

Join Traci and Dawn as they explore the foundations of process work and how it can help us shift out of polarization. Dawn reads the most beautiful speech she would give to the Charlottesville rioters. In this speech she overcomes her terror as a Jewish woman and models how we all can confront our addiction to “other” by speaking both ferociously and compassionately.

We have to find a way to get along and to facilitate dialog.” (Dawn) “It's about the human tendency to otherize someone.” (Dawn) “This whole idea of otherizing is about how we also, as individuals, marginalize different parts of ourselves. Wholeness is really about connecting and getting on with that with which we marginalize internally, in our relationships, and in the world at large. (Dawn) “With all my years on this planet Earth, I am more interested in my larger goals of democracy and people getting along.” (Dawn) “...how to reach out to a side that you feel is so repulsive to you, and at the same time, take a stand. How to do both at the same time.” (Dawn) “I want to tell those protesters that deep down you have more in common with those whom you battle. You're looking for your place, that precious feeling of belonging and pride. (Dawn) It is the deepest human longing for all people who risk everything and flee violent circumstances to reside in these United States of America. There is room enough for all of us. (Dawn) We all need to feel our pride and sense of home without denigrating others. It is the only way forward. Feel pride in your vision to live in a country that insists on freedom and belonging for all people. (Dawn) Being one-sided is very addictive. If you have a humanistic view, if you have a view of people and community, the deepest religions talk about that. If you want to connect, if you want to understand and get along, then you have to go beyond your one-sided position.

(Health Series)“Our steadfast faith in our limitations keeps us operating at only a fraction of our true potential.” - Jason Pickard Most people, when they discover their passion and purpose, do all that they can to become a master of it. But what if you grow up passionate about so many things because your real interest is in understanding the nature of Reality and in exceeding known limits of human possibilities? Jason Pickard knew, as a young teen, that he wanted to be a trader on Wall St. He quickly rose through the ranks to become one of the Top 30 traders under 30 years old. But after achieving unprecedented success on Wall St., while losing his health and almost his life in the process, he began pursuing his interests in yoga, martial arts, the visual arts, music, philosophy, meditation, and the healing arts –– from an Eastern, Western, and Indigenous perspective –– with some of the leading living masters in each of these fields. Since retiring in 2019 from his position as partner and portfolio manager at Tudor Investment Corp, one of the world's most esteemed hedge funds, Jason's primary focus has been his work in private counseling and coaching. He also works with businesses, groups, and other organizations as a group process facilitator. His specific passion is to help improve human performance and optimization by supporting people to find purposefulness and meaning in all the significant events of their lives.Jason is a member of the board of the Contemplative Sciences Center at the University of Virginia. Over the last five years, he has led Pickard Fellowship retreats that give undergraduate business school students an opportunity to learn wellness and mindfulness so that they stay conscious and healthy while pursuing their vision in the business world. He is a Holistic Life Coach Level 2 at the CHEK Institute, and has worked privately with Paul Chek for over 10 years, as his longest running private client. He is currently training at the Process Work Institute in Portland Oregon with many senior faculty members and therapists, and is pursuing a Diplomate diploma. Process Work, developed by Dr. Arnold Mindell, is a rich and varied way of perceiving the world, people, and groups. It is an innovative and highly successful methodology for working with individuals, couples, families, groups, communities and organizations.Jason lives in upstate NY with his beloved wife Kara and his three children.Jason's Email - jpickard62@gmail.com#BenStewart #JasonPickard #Optimazation #Wellness #Solutons Ben Stewart Podcast strives to offer awareness and solutions to a rapidly evolving world, while building community… Produced live, Thursdays at 5:00 PM EST.

Friends, I had such an inspiring and useful conversation with Jan Dworkin! I loved her unique and powerful definition of embodiment. We spoke about human relationships in so many ways - what makes a “successful relationship” (hint - not just one that lasts forever.) We spoke about relationships as ground for profound learning, and that “learners can never be losers.” Of course we spoke about quarantine and responses to the pandemic and how that can show up in so many ways in our relationships. We also explored the interesting territory of framing our differences as resources, both in intimate relationships and in the world at large. Jan spoke about the deep importance of expressing appreciation and gratitude, especially at this time when many of us are struggling. We also spoke about different flavors and impacts of guilt - and how in many ways it can be a force for positive change. I hope you love our conversation as much as I did! Her book is also fantastically insightful and practical as well as being a deeply enjoyable read that both invites deep introspection as well as laughing out loud. Highly recommended! Special thanks to our mutual friend, the gifted artist and Process Work Facilitator, Randee Levine, who brought us together for this conversation. Jan Dworkin, PhD, has more than 25 years of international, cross-cultural experience as a couples therapist and leadership coach. She is one of the founders of the Process Work Institute (PWI), a not-for-profit graduate school dedicated to research and training in process-oriented psychology. She co-created its master’s degree programs and served as its academic dean for over a decade; she continues to teach training workshops worldwide. Jan coaches leaders and teams across sectors, specializing in conflict facilitation and leadership development in creative industries. She is the author of Make Love Better: How to Own Your Story, Connect with Your Partner, and Deepen Your Relationship Practice (Belly Song Press, 2019).

"If we are awake, children will show us the kind of parenting they need," says Dawn Menken, author of Raising Parents, Raising Kids: Hands-on Wisdom for the Next Generation. What would that look like? Wouldn’t that be letting the kids be in charge? Not at all says Dawn; it would mean listening differently to our kids and realizing that it’s our job to help them discover their uniqueness, and if we follow their process, the job of parenting becomes one that teaches us more about ourselves along the way. Dawn Menken is a therapist in Portland, Oregon; she does individual, relationship and family therapy and is also on the faculty of the Process Work Institute in Portland where she teaches graduate courses. She travels and offers workshops on a variety of themes, including conflict resolution, group facilitation, diversity issues, children and school issues and health and psychology.
