When did you learn that it wasn’t safe to be fully yourself?

Explore the roots of shame and self-doubt, and discover a powerful somatic practice that can help you reconnect with your worth, your voice, and your true nature.

There’s no need to keep living as though you’re somehow inadequate or some part of you still needs to hide.

Maybe you’ve done years of healing work, learned your patterns, and gained real insight into your past. And yet there may still be moments when your body contracts, your voice disappears, or an old feeling of “not enough” rises before you can reason your way past it.

These experiences often make perfect sense when viewed through the lens of shame, affirms Dr. Arielle Schwartz, an internationally recognized psychologist, trauma recovery expert, and author of numerous books on healing trauma.

Not shame as a character flaw or personal failure. But shame as a protective response that can develop when your sense of belonging, connection, safety, or self-expression has been threatened.

Drawing from trauma therapy, nervous system science, somatic psychology, parts work, therapeutic yoga, and mindfulness, she offers practical tools designed to help people move beyond self-judgment and reconnect with their innate dignity, wisdom, and wholeness.

Join Arielle for this illuminating free online event, where she’ll introduce a powerful framework for understanding emotional intelligence and its essential role in healing shame, restoring self-worth, and helping you return to more of your true nature.

You'll discover that emotional intelligence isn't just about understanding your emotions. It’s about learning how to work with them in ways that support greater self-trust, stronger relationships, and a deeper connection to yourself.

Arielle will explore how shame, anger, grief, and anxiety often become tangled together like a fisherman’s net beneath the surface of awareness. Untangling those emotional threads can reveal important information about your needs, your relationships, and the patterns shaping your life.

You’ll also learn why shame can function as a form of protective “pseudo safety.” While it may limit your life in certain ways, it may also be trying to shield you from vulnerability, disappointment, rejection, or emotional pain, which further limits your growth.

What makes Arielle so resonant is her ability to approach even our most painful experiences with wisdom, warmth, and compassion. Rather than asking what’s wrong with you, she helps you understand what happened to you and how your body and nervous system adapted in response.

You’ll discover how, when shame is no longer mistaken for your identity, but recognized as a protective response, something softens. Self-judgment can begin to give way to curiosity, compassion, and the possibility of change.

To help you experience this relief directly, Arielle will guide you through a powerful somatic practice that explores how emotions live in your body. Using breath, movement, sound, and embodied awareness, you’ll gently work with areas of emotional stuckness and begin to restore a greater sense of freedom, aliveness, and ease.

In this eye-opening and healing online event, you’ll explore:

  • A guided somatic experience that helps you recognize where shame and other difficult emotions may be limiting your natural vitality — and discover what becomes possible when more of your energy is available to you
  • The essential building blocks of emotional intelligence, and how strengthening them can support greater self-worth, healthier relationships, and a deeper sense of self-understanding
  • Why shame, anger, grief, and anxiety often become tangled together beneath the surface — and how untangling them can help you better recognize what you truly need
  • How shame can quietly shut down access to other emotions, limiting your ability to fully understand yourself and respond more effectively to life’s challenges
  • Why shame often functions as a form of safety and protection — and how understanding its purpose can help you relate to yourself with greater compassion
  • Practical ways to work more skillfully with your emotional world so you can feel more resilient, self-trusting, and grounded in everyday life

When you attend, you’ll also hear about Arielle’s upcoming 7-week live video course, where she’ll guide you more deeply into unwinding shame from the body, thawing functional freeze, healing attachment wounds, working compassionately with your inner parts, restoring nervous system regulation, and reconnecting with your wisest self so you can experience more of your true nature with greater dignity, confidence, and ease.

Dr. Schwartz guides us into a field of healing practices and possibilities founded in a resilientinformed approach.

“... a game-changer for those who have trauma patterns.”
As a medical physician addressing the effects of stored trauma on our biology, I consider this a must for all professionals who work with people who have human bodies. This is not just for trauma, though it will be a game-changer for those who have trauma patterns. By applying polyvagal theory to embodiment yoga in her wonderful and unique way, Arielle has just set a new standard for working with the body and a chronic freeze response.
