SUMMARY:How to Heal Hidden Shame – Free Class with Arielle Schwartz
DESCRIPTION:\n\nFree Online Event\nShame does not always feel like embarrassment. It can appear as a quiet contraction, a disappearing voice, a persistent sense of “not enough,” or the feeling that some part of you still needs to hide.\nDr. Arielle Schwartz offers a compassionate framework for understanding these reactions as protective responses rather than character flaws. Her approach brings together trauma therapy, nervous system science, somatic psychology, parts work, therapeutic yoga, and mindfulness.\nYou’ll explore how shame can become tangled with anger, grief, and anxiety, and how emotional intelligence can help you relate to these feelings with greater clarity. Arielle will also guide a somatic practice using breath, movement, sound, and embodied awareness.\nThis event is an invitation to notice how hidden shame may shape self-expression, relationships, and your sense of worth. The focus is not on forcing change, but on meeting protective patterns with curiosity, dignity, and practical awareness.\nRegister Here For Free\nRegistration is free, and registrants can receive the full-length recording.\n\n\n\nExplore This Free Event\nJump directly to the section that interests you.\n\n\n→\nWhy Attend\n\n\n→\nWhat You’ll Learn\n\n\n→\nWho Should Attend\n\n\n→\nAbout Dr. Arielle Schwartz\n\n\n→\nEndorsements\n\n\n→\nFrequently Asked Questions\n\n\n\nRegister Here For Free\n→\n\n\n\nWhy This Experience Matters\nWhy Attend “How to Heal Hidden Shame: Release Functional Freeze in the Body to Experience More Freedom, Dignity & Choice”\n\n\n\nHidden shame can shape your life without announcing itself clearly. It may show up when your body contracts, your voice disappears, or an old belief that you are inadequate rises before conscious thought can intervene.\nArielle reframes shame as a protective response that may have developed when belonging, connection, safety, or self-expression felt threatened. This perspective matters because it shifts the question away from what is wrong with you and toward how your body and nervous system learned to adapt.\nHer approach is useful because it connects emotional understanding with direct somatic awareness. By bringing together trauma recovery, nervous system science, parts work, therapeutic yoga, and mindfulness, she offers a grounded way to explore difficult emotions without reducing shame to your identity.\nRegister Here For Free\n\n\nTeaching + Guided Somatic Practice\nWhat You’ll Learn\nWe’ll begin by looking at shame as a learned protective response, so you can consider how it may have formed around threatened belonging, connection, safety, or self-expression. You’ll explore why recognizing its protective purpose can create a more compassionate way to relate to yourself.\nIn this session, you’ll examine the building blocks of emotional intelligence, which means learning not only to identify emotions but also to work with them more skillfully. Arielle will explore how shame, anger, grief, and anxiety can become tangled beneath awareness, so their distinct messages and needs are harder to recognize.\nYou’ll then be guided through a somatic experience using breath, movement, sound, and embodied awareness, and then notice where emotional stuckness may be limiting vitality or expression. The practice offers a direct way to explore what changes when shame is approached as a response rather than mistaken for who you are.\nHere’s just a little bit of what you’ll learn:\n\nHow hidden shame may appear as contraction, self-doubt, silence, or a sense of inadequacy\nWhy shame can develop when belonging, connection, safety, or self-expression feels threatened\nHow shame may function as protective “pseudo safety” around vulnerability or rejection\nWhat emotional intelligence involves beyond simply naming your feelings\nWhy shame, anger, grief, and anxiety can become difficult to distinguish beneath the surface\nHow shame can limit access to other emotions and make your needs harder to recognize\nWays somatic awareness can reveal where difficult emotions live in the body\nHow breath, movement, sound, and embodied attention are used in the guided practice\nWhy separating shame from identity can support curiosity, compassion, and greater choice\n\nRegister Here For Free\n\n\nA Compassionate Mind-Body Approach\nWho This Is For\nThis event may be relevant if you have done meaningful healing work and gained insight into your patterns, yet still notice moments of contraction, self-doubt, emotional shutdown, or difficulty expressing your needs. It is also suited to people who want a clearer understanding of how shame can affect self-worth, relationships, emotional awareness, and the ability to feel fully present.\nNo prior training is described as necessary. The material may also be useful for psychotherapists, counselors, coaches, yoga teachers, somatic practitioners, trauma-informed facilitators, and other helping professionals interested in emotional intelligence, nervous system awareness, and compassionate mind-body approaches.\n\nPeople who sense that shame or self-doubt may be operating beneath the surface\nThose who feel their body contract or their voice disappear in difficult moments\nPeople seeking a more compassionate understanding of protective emotional patterns\nThose interested in strengthening emotional intelligence and self-understanding\nBeginners curious about somatic psychology, mindfulness, or nervous system awareness\nExperienced seekers who want to connect insight with embodied practice\nTherapists, coaches, yoga teachers, and trauma-informed practitioners\n\nRegister Here For Free\n\n\nMeet Your Teacher\nAbout Dr. Arielle Schwartz\nArielle Schwartz, PhD, CCTP-II, E-RYT, is a licensed clinical psychologist, certified complex trauma professional, EMDR consultant, and Kripalu yoga teacher.

Dr. Schwartz elegantly guides the self-discovery process by integrating two powerful healing systems. The practical application of yoga, the ancient body wisdom practice, along with the contemporary neurophysiological model of trauma recovery, is an effective offering. This traumainformed lens empowers the inner healer in ways that are both gentle and transformative. These precise and accessible practices will benefit wellbeing and enhance the skill set of any clinician who values somatic therapies.”\nManuela Mischke-Reeds, LMFT\n\nAuthor of Somatic Psychotherapy Toolbox and founder of Innate Somatic Intelligence Trauma Therapy Approaches\n\n\n“Trauma as old as human life on this planet. Over thousands of years, many powerful healing modalities have emerged to guide people back to an experience of wholeness. Dr. Schwartz brilliantly illuminates these modalities by weaving together major systems of trauma recovery. She offers an empowering, holistic guide to reclaim your deepest sense of belonging — to yourself, to others, and to the world around you.”\nScott Lyons, PhD, RYT500\n\nFounder of The Embody Lab\n\n\n“Dr. Arielle Schwartz goes far beyond most practitioners and serves individuals who have experienced trauma in remarkable and impactful ways. Over the past few years, as a practitioner, I have absorbed, participated in, and benefited from her expertise in posttraumatic growth and resilience.

She offers portals into the untold and hidden stories of pain that live in the nervous system and the biology of people affected by chronic traumatization. She reminds us of the power and strength that lie in the core of human existence and puts us in touch with our inner capabilities.”\nAna M. Gomez, MC, LPC\n\nAuthor of EMDR Therapy and Adjunct Approaches with Children\n\n\n“As a medical physician addressing the effects of stored trauma on our biology, I consider this a must for all professionals who work with people who have human bodies. This is not just for trauma, though it will be a game-changer for those who have trauma patterns. By applying polyvagal theory to embodiment yoga in her wonderful and unique way, Arielle has just set a new standard for working with the body and a chronic freeze response.”\nAimie Apigian, MD, MS, MPH\n\nFounder of Trauma Healing Accelerated\n\n\n\nRegister Here For Free\n\n\nEverything You Need to Know\nFrequently Asked Questions\nSelect any question below to reveal the answer.\nEvent Details\n\nWhen and where does the event take place?\nThis free online video event takes place on Tuesday, July 28, 2026, at 5:30pm Pacific Time (PT).

It can operate beneath the surface as a learned protective response that affects belonging, connection, safety, self-expression, self-worth, and the willingness to be fully seen.\n\n\nHow can shame function as protection?\nArielle describes shame as a form of protective pseudo safety. It may try to shield you from vulnerability, disappointment, rejection, or emotional pain, even while limiting self-expression, connection, and growth.\n\n\nWhat is functional freeze?\nThe event title connects functional freeze with hidden shame in the body. The supplied description does not give a formal definition, but it points to moments when the body contracts, the voice disappears, or vitality and self-expression feel limited.\n\n\nHow does emotional intelligence relate to healing shame?\nArielle presents emotional intelligence as more than identifying emotions. It includes learning to work with your emotional world in ways that can support self-understanding, self-trust, relationships, and clearer recognition of what you need.\n\n\nWhy can shame, anger, grief, and anxiety feel tangled together?\nArielle compares these emotions to threads in a fisherman’s net beneath conscious awareness. Untangling them can make it easier to recognize distinct feelings, understand what they communicate, and notice the needs and relationship patterns connected with them.\n\n\nWhat will the guided somatic practice involve?\nArielle will guide an embodied practice using breath, movement, sound, and awareness. The practice is intended to help you notice emotional stuckness, recognize where shame may be limiting vitality, and explore a more spacious relationship with what you feel.\n\n\nWhich approaches inform Arielle Schwartz’s teaching?\nHer teaching draws from trauma therapy, nervous system science, somatic psychology, parts work, therapeutic yoga, mindfulness, relational therapy, EMDR Therapy, and applied polyvagal theory.\n\n\nWhat is Resilience-Informed Therapy?\nArielle’s Center for Resilience Informed Therapy offers an integrative mind-body approach that includes relational therapy, somatic psychology, EMDR Therapy, parts-work therapy, and therapeutic yoga for trauma. This background supports her practical and compassionate approach to shame and nervous system patterns.\n\n\n\n\n\nHealth Disclosure\nThe contents of this website/e-mail are for informational purposes only and are not intended to be a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment.
