When a client looks at you and says “I hate myself,” it’s more than heartbreaking – it’s clinically complex.
Self-hatred isn’t just low self-esteem. It’s tangled with trauma, shame, anxiety, and depression.
Clients who loathe themselves, who can’t accept care, who reject every attempt at healing.
Without the right clinical tools, it’s easy to feel struck – like you’re circling the problem without ever helping them break free.
That’s where this training comes in.
In this training Jennifer Gerlach, expert in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Compassion-Focused Therapy and trauma-informed healing, will guide you through evidence-based, effective techniques to target self-hatred and treat trauma – even in the face of complexities like anxiety, shame, and more.
You’ll learn a powerful way to move beyond resistance and reach the deep-rooted threat-based responses that keep clients stuck in cycles of self-criticism. In this training, you’ll discover:
There’s no greater reward than seeing clients finally extend compassion to themselves – transforming pain into strength and hopelessness into healing.
Purchase now and walk away with the tools that don’t just heal trauma … they replace self-hatred with fulfillment and a life worth living.
