Why shame is an attachment wound and how to transform that with Deirdre Fay


Listen Later

Today, we’re excited to welcome Deirdre Fay, author of Becoming Safely Embodied: A Guide to Organize Your Mind, Body and Heart to Feel Secure in the World. Deirdre's message resonates deeply with those who may look successful on the surface, but internally they may be plagued with shame, anxiety, distress, depression, wondering why they’re stuck in these repeating patterns.

With decades of experience as a psychotherapist and educator, Deirdre brings together modern neurobiology and ancient wisdom into a practice of what she calls “becoming safely embodied.” Experts in the field have described her practical methods as a “radically positive approach to healing trauma” and a way for people to “get better faster.”
