How do you navigate shame? What does inner criticism have to do with shame? In our society, it’s easy to slip into what we think we know as shame and often, the most common first response is to figure out a way to relieve it or treat it. Instead, what happens if you explore the unshaming way? Who will you find?
Today we continue our mini series speaking with mental health professionals such as therapists, somatic educators, social workers, and other professional caregivers. Our special guest today is David Bedrick, counselor, attorney, and a teacher of shame-based studies for therapists, coaches, and healers.

Please note: This episode contains examples of abuse.
About David Bedrick: David Bedrick, JD, Dipl. PW, is a teacher, counselor, and attorney. He grew up in family marked by violence. While his father’s brutality was physical and verbal, his mother’s denial and gaslighting had its own covert power. This formative context introduced David early to the etiology of shame and instilled an urge to unshame.
Professionally, he was on the faculty for the University of Phoenix and the Process Work Institute in the U.S. and Poland and is the founder of the Santa Fe Institute for Shame-based Studies where he trains therapists, coaches and healers and offers workshops for individuals to further their own personal development. Thousands of students have studied with David in addition to his 30 years of experience working with individuals, couples, and groups.
David writes for Psychology Today and is the author of three books: Talking Back to Dr. Phil: Alternatives to Mainstream Psychology and Revisioning Activism: Bringing Depth, Dialogue, and Diversity to Individual and Social Change. His new book is You Can’t Judge a Body by Its Cover: 17 Women’s Stories of Hunger, Body Shame and Redemption.
His upcoming book, The Unshaming Way, will be published by North Atlantic books in 2024.

Today we continue on with our popular living the tarot series with another very special guest. Today we have the one and only Aidan Wachter! In this episode, we get into a very deep, very philosophical all about magic. If you are interested in the occult, as well as learning from a very experienced practitioner, this episode is for you.
Guest bio: Aidan Wachter is an eclectic animist, magician, and witch. His work focuses on magical approaches that produce real change in the practitioner and their reality. Wachter believes that magic is an inherent aspect of the human animal that, when missing or neglected, can lead to pathological states in the individual. These states then ripple out into human society and beyond it. It is his belief that magic can be a tool to re-frame what is possible for a person and, from that position, create better possible futures for all beings. He is the author of Six Ways: Approaches & Entries For Practical Magic, Weaving Fate: Hypersigils, Changing The Past, & Telling True Lies, and Changeling: A Book Of Qualities.
