Advanced Training - Intimacy with Shame & Grief
In a culture that demands maternal perfection while offering minimal support, mothers often internalize their struggles as personal failures. This advanced training invites practitioners to deepen their capacity to hold space for maternal grief and shame—beginning with their own.

About the event
Through the lens of Internal Family Systems, we'll cultivate the collective courage needed to accompany mothers into their most vulnerable territories, transforming how we understand and address maternal suffering.
Motherhood is loaded with vulnerability and responsibility. Moms are hyperfocused on the health and wellbeing of their children, all while being under-resourced and under pressure to get it right. As mothers encounter the inevitable frustrations, disappointments and losses inherent to their role, they commonly attribute those pain points to their own failures and shortcomings: there's something wrong with me, I didn't do enough, I'm a bad mom, etc. Our culture of perfectionistic mothering both amplifies and silences shame and grief and encourages moms' protector parts to muzzle their pain. When grief and shame are exiled, moms experience themselves as unwell and disordered. Isolation and mommy wars make matters worse, intensifying symptoms and activating protective parts.
