Shame – the forgotten emotion

Shame, more than any other emotion, can be seen as the enemy within. It is for many the forgotten emotion. Indeed in research for this article, I was starkly reminded of the of the little that is written in the literature on the consequences of shame or even what shame is as an emotion. Freud, for example, concentrated on the subject of guilt rather than shame and from my own discipline it is only in recent times that Transactional Analysts have written on shame in any real depth. In some ways this is a strange phenomena, that so little has been written on the subject.

Perhaps though, the major reason for the ignoring of shame in this sense is that most often a person’s response to shame is to hide and withdraw, to retreat and remain isolated. The last thing a shamed person wants to do is to open up and be ‘seen’ by people.

“Shame is an internal, excruciating experience of unexpected exposure, it is a deep wound felt primarily from the inside, it divides us from ourselves and others” (Erskine 1993)

Or, in T.A. terms we can see shame as an: “internal expression of an interpsychic conflict between a reactive child ago state and an influencing parent ego state”. (Erskine 1993)

Shame is the consequence of a rupture in early relationships, it is one of the most painful of emotions and for most people who feel shame, they want so desperately to ‘not be seen’, to many it is the very focus of attention that is so crippling for them in their everyday lives. Indeed the moment attention is solely focused on them, they fight so desperately to withdraw and will do ‘anything’ to not feel the feelings that are around by ‘being seen’. The defences to the above may include freezing, trying to be perfect, intellectualising, smiling or creating another self to deal with the world.

The major script belief for dealing with shame is “something is wrong with me”. This decision that something is basically wrong with their very being was made by the person early in their life in response to being traumatized by the ‘other’ in the significant relationship. It is the internalisation of the ‘shamer’s’ message “something is wrong with you” which is changed significantly by the shamed person/child to “something is wrong with me”. This process usually begins early in childhood and it may take the shamed child numerous traumatic experiences before the “something is wrong with you” message becomes the “something is wrong with me” decision.

The parent in this process, by placing the total responsibility for the rupture of the relationship on the child, will by definition set up a process where the child will be faced with great internal/external pressure to decide that there is something wrong with them. The alternative to voice or even feel that it could be the parent that was wrong would be so overwhelming, especially as they were dependent on their early survival from the significant other.

This internal early belief system “something is wrong with me” then becomes the basis or core of the script system. It becomes the base from which the child then builds on in their development. It is based on the myth to which the shamed child has bought into and becomes pervasive throughout their life. Indeed the myth becomes, for the person, as powerful as any existential decisions about themselves. This is how they see and feel themselves to be, this is what they are and how they exist. They fundamentally believe that: “something is wrong with me”.

The question then, for any therapist/counsellor in dealing with a person who feels so shamed and so fundamentally believes the above, is how we facilitate the person to realise that something is right with them, not essentially wrong, and how we do this in a way that is not reinforcing the shame or replicating the early ruptured relationship?

The answer lies in the relationship between the therapist and the client, it is through this relationship that the person can tell their story. It is through the relationship with the therapist that the person can, maybe for the first time, feel that they are validated for being them – that they are normal and that there is not anything wrong with them and never has been. It means the therapist attuning with the client, validating even their smallest hurts and anxieties, it means for the therapist to somehow get themselves ‘into the skin of the client’. Most of all it means that the therapist stays alongside the clients in a respectful contact oriented manner.

It may also mean that the therapist actively takes the responsibility for any break in the therapeutic relationship. Most therapeutic breaks occur when the therapist fails to attune to the client’s affective or non-verbal communication. Thus it may be necessary for the therapist to take full responsibility for not understanding the client’s phenomenological experiences, for not validating or valuing the person in front of them.

The methodology then for therapy with a person who feels existentially and irrevocably shamed is through Contact, Inquiry, Attunement and Involvement, the four basic tenets of any relationship contact oriented therapy. It is through the above, with respectfulness, that the antidote to shame will be found.

Psycotherapy and Psychotherapy Training in Chorlton Manchester UK

 

The Manchester Institute for Psychotherapy (formerly The Life Stream Centre) was established in 1987 and moved to Chorlton in September 1988 where we have been ever since! 

We have been in 454 Barlow Moor Road, Chorlton, for the last two decades – it has been an enormously enriching and challenging time.

The Institute is a four storey building comprising of twelve rooms and Two Training Rooms.

Over 18 Psychotherapists and Counsellors work from The Institute –  most have been with us for many years.

For over 25 years we have offered a wide range of services to the community from Individual Therapy to Group Therapy and Personal Development Courses.

In 1993 we also established a Training Arm to the services we offer and to that end we have been training people to be psychotherapists since that time to the present day.

Recently we have extended our services by training people in the areas of Clinical Supervision and Child and Adolescent Studies.

In fact we now offer counselling and therapy to children as well as adults.

We are proud of our achievements and the services we have grown over the years, and we are specifically pleased to be serving such a vibrant community as Chorlton, where we feel we truly belong!

What Is Supervision

There are many areas of Supervision; Clinical Supervision, Counselling Supervision, Organisational Supervision, Educational Supervision and indeed Coaching Supervision. On this site we will be providing articles, blogs etc., on all areas of Supervision, though specifically Psychotherapy and Counselling Supervision. Clinical Supervision, which covers both the Psychotherapy and Counselling worlds is a relatively new profession. If we look back at the 1950’s/1960’s we see that Clinical Supervision was mainly used in the area of Psychoanalysis and Psychodynamic World. By the 1970’s/1980’s the teaching and nursing professions started to explore the use of Supervision in their professional practices.  Both of these professions use Supervision mainly as an educative discipline rather than an interpretive and analytical discipline. With the emergence of psychotherapy and counselling post 1950’s we see the proliferation of Supervision into these disciplines.

Also we saw in the 1980s the inclusion of Supervision into the Managerial and Occupational Sectors.

Clinical Supervision for Psychotherapy and Counselling has come of age in the 21st century and we see that there has been a huge number of books and articles written on the subject of Supervision within the last three decades.

A recent definition of Supervision which I like is “Supervision is a working alliance between two professionals where supervisees offer an account of their work, reflect on it, receive feedback, and receive guidance if appropriate.  The object of this alliance is to enable the worker to gain in ethical competency, confidence and creativity as to give the best possible services to clients”.  (Inskipp and Proctor, 2001,)

It is fair to say that the major players in any Clinical Supervision is:

  1. The Supervisor
  2. The Supervisee/Therapist
  3. The Client

Within this framework Supervision is primarily focused on the Supervisor helping the Supervisee/Therapist to develop their specific skills in the service of the client.

There are many models, tools, and techniques as well as information to help the Supervisor in this process.

Two specific models that are useful in this context are :

  1. The “Seven-eyed Model” sometimes called the Process Model.  This model was developed by Peter Hawkins and Robin Shoet in their book “Supervision in the Helping Professions” (1989)
  1. The “IDM Model” which is a Professional Developmental model created and developed by Stoltenberg and Delworth 2001 and written extensively about in their book called an “Integrative Developmental Model”  (2000).

The “Seven-eyed Model” or Process Model is specifically useful in providing a map for the Supervisor to know where they are, at any time, within the Supervisor relationship with the Supervisee.

What is also particularly useful when using this model is the focusing on the particular “Modes” that the Supervisor/Supervisee will visit.

Mode’s within this Model

Mode 1 – The Supervisor within this Mode will be focusing on helping the Supervisee sharpen their “Behavioural Observation” when working with the clients.

Mode 2  – The Supervisor, when focusing on “Mode 2” will be facilitating.

The Supervisee to look at the strategies, goals, contracts, and treatment plans – direction for the client.  In this Mode there will be an emphasis on the nuts and bolts of interventions within the therapeutic relationship.

In other words “Why” the Supervisee/Therapist decided to use that specific intervention at that specific time within the therapy relationship.

Mode 3  – The Supervisor when focusing on “Mode 3” will be helping the Supervisee to concentrate on the “Dance” between the Supervisee and the Client in the therapy relationship.

In other words to look at the transference projections of the client on the therapist within the therapy relationship.

The use of metaphor and imagery are useful techniques for this particular stage.

Mode 4 – The Supervisor when focusing on “Mode 4” will be looking particularly at the counter-transference of the Supervisee/Therapist within the therapy relationship of themselves and the client.

Mode 5 – The Supervisor in “Mode 5” will be looking at the relationship between the Supervisor and Supervisee within the Supervisors Office.

Mode 6 – The Supervisor in “Mode 6” will be looking specifically at his own counter-transference within the Supervisor/Supervisee relationship.

Mode 6 and Mode 5 are useful Modes to look at the “Parallel Process” between the Supervisor/Supervisee and the Supervisee/Therapist and their client.

Mode 7 – The Supervisor in this Mode will help the Supervisee concentrate on the Organisational and wider Environmental restraints on the Supervision.

This “Seven-eyed Model” provides a comprehensive and systemic model for examining the process of Supervision.   It will be useful for Supervisors and Supervisees alike.

Another Supervision Model which compliments this model is the “IDM Model”, first postulated, as said above, by Stoltenberg and Delworth (2000).

This Model is a Professional Developmental Model.

The authors of this Model put forward the case that for effective Supervision to take place, the Supervisor needs to be aware of the Professional Developmental needs of the Supervisee/Therapist.

Also the Supervisor needs to be aware of the use of “Parallel Process” as a major tool within Supervision.

If the Supervisor is aware of such concepts as parallel process and the two models mentioned above then I believe more effective Supervision is likely to take place.

Other models, such as the “Procedural Model” and the “Tasks of Supervision” are also useful in the art of Supervision.
