Swap your shame shaming… for compassion & understanding
Wait what? Compassion? Understanding? Toward shame?
I recently drove almost 30 miles while lug nuts flew off my front wheel, one by one- completely unbeknownst to me.
I knew something was wrong but wasn’t sure what. The tire was round. I checked. But that’s all I knew.
I tried to get home but alas…eventually my wheel came right off and rolled away. It wasn’t the movie scene I’d always dreamed of reenacting.
If I had known just a teeny tiny bit more about how things work,
I would have known what to look for. I wouldn’t have crossed my fingers and hoped I got home.
I might not have been able to fix the problem without help, but I definitely could have stopped it from getting worse.
When we understand the neurobiology of toxic shame,
we can stop the problem from getting worse. And then your lug nuts won’t fly off. And then your wheel. While driving.

You’re a helper, healer, or educator.
And you get to make these words mean whatever you want. Parent? Seems like a helper, healer, AND educator to me! Accountant? Well…my accountant is a HUGE help to me. Therapist? That one seems obvious (though this isn’t a therapist training). Rock climber? Maybe you’re spelunking to heal yourself.
What do I know? You get to decide.
Shame resilience tools always fall a little flat for you.
You totally believe in vulnerability and owning your story. You believe in letting shame breathe and receive connection.
But you can’t seem to do it.
Then you feel ashamed that you can’t get shame resilience quite right.
Ironic, eh?
It’s not that you’re doing it wrong…it’s that there a few steps missing before we can even begin to own our story.
When you know how things work…
you can clear up confusion and create a game plan.
You realize it’s not your fault.
When you realize it’s not your fault, you can stay clear-headed enough to get curious
(huh…a lug nut is missing…)
and then clear-headed enough to make a decision that doesn’t result in your wheel rolling away from your car while you watch from the driver’s seat.
You’ve got to know to check the lug nuts.
You’ve got to know lug nuts are important! And that they exist.
And you’ve got to stay clear headed enough when things go wrong to stay connected to reality and not just muscle it home, on a wing and a prayer.

My life’s work
is helping people see this.
Seriously…you just can’t wait any longer?

Hey There…
I’m Robyn!
I’ve studied toxic shame.
I teach about toxic shame (and all things relational neuroscience).
I’ve lived toxic shame.
I’ve gone with others into the depths of their toxic shame.
Understanding the neurobiology of toxic shame isn’t a magic trick- we can’t wave the wand and POOF it disappears.
I promise if I could do that, I would.
But 15 years with my butt on BOTH sides of the therapy room has shown me that understanding the neurobiology of toxic shame is a pretty crucial part of the journey. Maybe not for everyone, but for most people.
I’ve been on a mission to make the goodness of therapy more accessible to folks. Therapy–GOOD therapy–isn’t as accessible and available as we’d like to think.
This workshop isn’t therapy. But I hope that it offers you something that you can receive without going to therapy….
the scientific proof that there is nothing wrong with you.
Here’s what we’ll cover…
Why do we care
about the neurobiology of toxic shame?
Does learning about the science change anything about our shame??? (Hint…yes…)
You’ll watch a pre-recorded video (approximately 30 minutes) then we’ll come together on April 15 to discuss, ask questions, and individually journaling with some writing prompts.
What actually IS
the neurobiology of toxic shame?
We’ll get geeky-science here :) YES! But- I promise it’ll make sense.
You’ll watch a pre-recorded video (approximately 30 minutes) then we’ll come together on April 22 to discuss, ask questions, and individually journaling with some writing prompts.
What are the risks
of releasing shame?
If there weren’t any risks, you would have done it by now. Promise.
