Unbound from Shame

A 6-Session Closed Group Therapy Experience

 

​

People don’t walk around saying, “I struggle with shame.”

 

Instead it shows up as:
Overthinking what to say before you speak

Feeling like you’re “too much” or “not enough” in relationships

Being overly aware of how you are being perceived

Adjusting yourself to fit what you think others will accept

Struggling to fully be yourself around others

Appearing confident on the outside, but second-guessing yourself internally

Avoiding certain situations, conversations, or people altogether

Feeling a quiet sense that something about you is “off” or not quite acceptable

 

​

Over time, this becomes exhausting.

You start organising your life around not being seen the “wrong” way.
 

This group therapy is designed to change that. Repeat as many cycles of the Unbound from Shame group therapy as you need.

How this works
 

This is a closed therapy group focused on helping you break out of shame-driven patterns in real time.

​

Most people try to think their way out of shame.

 

But in real life, when the moment comes
your body reacts, your mind blanks, and you fall back into old patterns.

This group is designed to work at that exact moment.

We combine:

Behavioural experiments (shame-attacking work)

Nervous system awareness and regulation (noticing the shame that lives in your nervous system)

Attachment and developmental understanding/trauma responses

Real-time group interaction as a relational laboratory

 

You will practise showing up differently while it’s actually happening, stretching beyond your usual limits.

​

As a result, your true-self is encouraged to surface and take the lead. Felt sense of safety increases too. So does your sense of self, worth, confidence etc. 

 

This is both insight-based and experiential work.

What We Will Be Doing

 

This is an active, participation-based group.

 

You can expect:

Structured exercises that challenge your usual ways of holding back

Gradual, guided “shame-attacking” tasks (nothing thrown at you randomly)

Practising speaking, expressing, and taking up space under mild discomfort

Real conversations where you say what you usually hold in

Direct facilitation to help you stay present instead of retreating
