Male Anger and Sexual Addiction: Challenges for Shame Regulation
American society idealizes the shameless Hero and Prince. Â Consequently, the regulation of feelings of embarrassment, humiliation and inadequacy is a particularly challenging task for males. Â Rage/anger and sexual addiction are their attempts to avoid feelings of inadequacy and inferiority. Â In this workshop participants will learn to identify the underlying shame that drives the Hero and the Prince. Â They will learn to differentiate guilt from shame and primary shame from secondary shame. Â Four different ways (personas) to not feel intense shame will be identified: Â the Hero/Heroine, the Prince/Princess, the Masochist, and the Depressive. Â Anger and sexual addictions are part of each style. Â We will also consider how each is an attempt to heal the shame it covers and how eros energy is critical in the modulation of shame feelings. Â A more contemporary ideal will be developed that will assist in the management of shame feelings for both males and females.
