Shame

: "The intolerable affect"

We consider how the inability to tolerate difficult feelings lie at the heart of the addicted person’s experience. Shame is central to those intolerable experiences.It includes humiliation, defeat and ultimately alienation.In this workshop we will draw on contemporary thinking and implications in practice.
