Shame is a profound sense of inadequacy, a feeling that your core self is fundamentally flawed. It is a complex dynamic that underlies many symptoms and problems in living. Many of our clients struggle with shame, and we may not even know it. The Thurston Cradock Test of Shame (TCTS), a performance-based measure rooted in shame theory and designed to access the multidimensional internal and interpersonal aspects shame, has been increasingly used in Therapeutic Assessment to better understand and help clients. This webinar will use actual TCTS protocols to provide a brief primer on shame, and to illustrate subtle expressions of shame, shame dynamics, defenses used to protect oneself from shame, styles of coping with shame and varying abilities to manage it. Attendees will learn how to administer, score and interpret TCTS protocols, and how to use the TCTS in clinical interventions.
