Somatic Interventions Clinical Summit: Body-Based Healing for Trauma Clients When Talk Therapy Has Failed
MODULE 1
Name The Shame Stalling The Trauma Case
How separating shame from guilt reveals why insight & cognitive work stopped moving the case.
MODULE 2
Trace The Childhood Coping That Built The Shame
How linking today's self-blame to early survival coping gives the client the explanation that finally loosens it.
MODULE 3
Work The Inner Critic Running The Client Down
How treating the inner critic as a part, not a thought, ends the self-attack that erases the client's progress between sessions.
MODULE 4
Surface The Protective Part Holding The Shame
How naming the secondary gain shows why the client holds onto shame, & what to offer before they can let it go.
MODULE 5
Reframe The Shame Logic Can't Reach
How the therapeutic relationship & cognitive reframing reach the body-level belief that argument alone never touches.
MODULE 6
Build The Self-Compassion That Feels Unsafe
How somatic work, a remembered resource & spirituality grow self-compassion in a client for whom comfort feels dangerous.
LEARN THE SHAME REPAIR FRAMEWORK FROM A 35-YEAR TRAUMA SPECIALIST
Lisa Ferentz, LCSW-C, DAPA: 35+ Years Healing Shame In Trauma Survivors Without Re-Wounding The Client
Lisa Ferentz didn't start by teaching shame work. She started by sitting with the trauma survivors no technique reached, the ones who rejected comfort, ran themselves down between sessions, and stayed stuck behind a wall no one could name. That work built her career. What she brings to the July 8th Masterclass is not theory: it is the framework built across 35+ years of clinical practice, founding The Ferentz Institute, and training several thousand clinicians to treat the guilt and shame that quietly stall trauma therapy.
What she covers on July 8th is the layer most trauma training skips: how shame hides inside the stalled case, why cognitive tools bounce off a body-level belief, and how to surface and work the wound without re-wounding the client. This is the move that answers the fear sitting underneath shame work, that going at it makes the client worse, and the one that changes how you run every stuck trauma case from here forward.
Here's How Your Shame Work Changes With This Masterclass
WITH THIS MASTERCLASS:
You spot the shame before the case plateaus
The client running himself down finally moves
You build self-compassion where comfort once felt unsafe
You work the inner critic instead of fighting it
WITHOUT THIS MASTERCLASS:
The same case sits behind the same wall
The inner critic erases each week's gains
The client rejects every comfort you offer
You label them treatment-resistant & doubt yourself

Frequently Asked Questions
I work with trauma survivors but I'm not specialized in shame treatment. Is this Masterclass appropriate for me?
Yes. This Masterclass is built for clinicians whose training covered trauma broadly & whose caseload holds the guilt & shame that broad training cannot reach.
I've taken shame trainings before that felt too theoretical to use in session. How is this different?
Lisa Ferentz teaches in-session moves, parts work & somatic strategies designed to be applied in your next session, not stored for later.
I'm trained in CBT, EMDR or DBT. Will this conflict with my training?
No. Lisa Ferentz's framework adds the shame layer to the modality you already practice without asking you to abandon it.
My hardest clients shut down before the work lands. Is this only for diagnosed cases?
No. The Masterclass focuses on the shame underneath the presentation, so it applies whether or not a formal diagnosis is in the chart.
How many CEs can I receive, & how do I get them?
Up to 9 CEs total. 6 from the Masterclass + 3 from the bonus course Shame, Guilt & Self-Criticism: Therapeutic Techniques for Client Recovery with Diane Bigler, LCSW, LSCSW, available for purchase after you register.
Can I get the recording if I cannot attend live?
Yes. The full 6-hour recording is included in Premium Pass with lifetime access. You can purchase it at the next step once you register for the Masterclass.
Are the CEs board-approved for my license?
