Most people imagine growth as a straight line, and that idea leaves them feeling confused and discouraged when progress fluctuates.

For people experiencing social anxiety, change feels especially complex. Avoidance seems protective, planning feels overwhelming, and action often triggers vulnerability spikes that seem like setbacks.

Clinicians see this daily. Clients gain insight, experience fear, and retreat into familiar patterns. Without a shame informed framework, it is easy to feel stuck.

What is this?

This free series offers a new way to understand the Stages of Change through the shame lens and ACT principles. Each stage becomes clearer, more compassionate, and more workable.

What’s inside:

  • Deep explanation of all five stages

  • Overview video explaining the entire model

  • Real life examples

  • Shame informed insights

  • Reflection prompts

  • Micro steps

  • Clinical guidance
