Learn about David Bedricks unique approach of working with process orientated therapy with clients, to unshame their symptoms.

David Bedrick, JD, Dipl. PW, is a teacher, counselor, and attorney. He was an adjunct faculty for the University of Phoenix and the Process Work Institute in the U.S. and Poland. He is the founder of the Santa Fe Institute for Shame-based Studies, where he offers facilitation training to deepen the skills and awareness of therapists, coaches, and healers as well as workshops for individuals to further their own personal development. David writes for Psychology Today and is the author of four books: Talking Back to Dr. Phil: Alternatives to Mainstream Psychology; Revisioning Activism: Bringing Depth, Dialogue, and Diversity to Individual and Social Change; and You Can’t Judge a Body by Its Cover: 17 Women’s Stories of Hunger, Body Shame and Redemption. His recent book, The Unshaming Way (November, 2024, North Atlantic Books), has been endorsed by Gabor Mate. David 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, it's connection to trauma, and instilled an urge to unshame.
