The Unshaming Way Workbook

Exercises and Reflection Questions to Heal from Trauma, Unlearn Self-Blame, and Reclaim Your Story

De: David Bedrick

A hands-on companion to the beloved bestseller The Unshaming Way—a step-by-step guide to free yourself from shame and trauma

With of practical prompts, personal reflections, and self-help exercises

In his bestselling The Unshaming Way, author, mental health expert, and professor David Bedrick taught us how we can release ourselves from our histories of trauma and abuse, from the stigmas that steal our true happiness—from our shame. The experience of reading this revolutionary perspective on how we become our authentic selves was so powerful that one reader wrote, “Nothing has helped me more in all my years to be able to love and appreciate myself more fully.”

Here, Bedrick has returned with a companion workbook that makes his evidence-based method more accessible than ever, through thoughtful questions and write-in exercises that walk us through the three keys to healing our shame: seeing, feeling, and believing.

By going through The Unshaming Way Workbook’s guided reflections, Bedrick teaches us how to unburden ourselves of complex and childhood trauma. We learn how to trust ourselves—to look for not what’s wrong with us, but what’s right. We learn how to free ourselves from the compulsive idea that we need to be “fixed.” And we learn how to protect ourselves from the hurt others can cause us when we haven’t yet discovered who we are and what we need. Through this thoughtful, inspiring self-study, we can finally each become the empowered person we always knew we could—and deserve to—be.
