THIS COURSE IS FOR YOU
Â
Most people come to growth work because they feel a gap between where they are and where they long to be.
They want to heal old wounds, deepen relationships, feel more at home in themselves, finally live with clarity, ease, and purpose.
And yet—no matter how much insight they gain, no matter how many tools they collect—
something keeps getting in the way.
Inside, they find the same exhausting cycle:
A PART THAT ATTACKS OR JUDGES.
Â
A PART THAT COLLAPSES OR INTERNALIZES THE PAIN.
Â
A PART THAT AVOIDS, PERFORMS, NUMBS, DISTRACTS OR DISAPPEARS.
Â
This is the Shame Triangle—a powerful inner geometry of parts that keeps us looping in self-criticism, unworthiness, and survival mode.
And once you can see it clearly, you can transform it.
This 8-week course is a live, immersive journey based on Jessica Fern and David Cooley’s new book, Transforming the Shame Triangle. Through teaching, guided practices, demos, and Q&A, you’ll learn how to shift out of the Shame Triangle and into the Self-Love Triangle, where your inner Critic becomes an Inner Coach, Shame becomes emotional wisdom, and Escapers become Inner Nurturers.
Â
THIS IS NOT "SELF HELP"Â
THIS IS SELF - LED TRANSFORMATION
