🌿 ARE YOU READY TO BREAK FREE FROM TOXIC SHAME? 🌿

6-Week Toxic Shame Workshop
Divine Concepts Counseling Inc.

Have you ever felt like you’re not good enough, that something is wrong with you, or that no matter how hard you try, you just can’t measure up?

Do you struggle with:
❤️ People-pleasing and difficulty setting boundaries?
❤️ Negative self-talk and constant self-criticism?
❤️ Fear of rejection, abandonment, or not being accepted?
❤️ Feeling responsible for other people’s happiness?
❤️ Perfectionism, guilt, or feelings of unworthiness?
❤️ Repeating unhealthy relationship patterns?

You may be struggling with toxic shame.

Guilt says, “I did something wrong.”

Shame says, “There is something wrong with ME.”

Toxic shame can develop through childhood experiences, criticism, rejection, trauma, and unhealthy relationships. Over time, we begin believing things about ourselves that simply aren’t true.

The good news? What was learned can be unlearned!

During this powerful six-week workshop, we will explore the roots of toxic shame, identify unhealthy beliefs, understand attachment patterns, learn to regulate our nervous systems, and begin replacing shame with self-compassion, confidence, and a healthier sense of identity.

🗓 Saturdays for 6 weeks

⏰ 2:00 PM – 6:00 PM

You don’t have to spend the rest of your life believing the painful messages you learned about yourself.

Your past may explain your patterns, but it does not have to determine your future.

It’s time to stop surviving in shame and start living in freedom! ❤️

🌿 BREAK FREE FROM TOXIC SHAME AND REDISCOVER WHO YOU WERE CREATED TO BE! 🌿

Are you tired of feeling like you’re never good enough?

Do you struggle with people-pleasing, perfectionism, negative self-talk, guilt, fear of rejection, or constantly worrying about what others think of you?

You may be carrying TOXIC SHAME without even realizing it!

There is a significant difference between guilt and shame.

Guilt says, “I did something wrong.”

Toxic shame says, “There is something wrong with ME.”

Toxic shame often develops through childhood experiences, rejection, criticism, trauma, abandonment, or unhealthy relationships. Over time, it can shape how we see ourselves, how we relate to others, and even what we believe we deserve.

But here’s the good news: You don’t have to continue living under the weight of shame!

❤️ JOIN OUR 6-WEEK TOXIC SHAME WORKSHOP!

📅 October 24 – November 28, 2026

🗓️ Every Saturday for 6 weeks

⏰ 2:00 PM – 6:00 PM

📍 Divine Concepts Counseling Inc.

💰 $575 for the entire 24-hour workshop

🌸 WHAT WILL YOU LEARN?

✅ Understand the difference between healthy guilt and toxic shame.

✅ Identify where your shame originated and how it continues to influence your life.

✅ Recognize negative core beliefs and the false narratives you’ve accepted about yourself.

✅ Understand attachment styles and how childhood experiences affect adult relationships.

✅ Break free from people-pleasing, perfectionism, self-sabotage, and the constant need for external validation.

✅ Learn how shame affects your nervous system, emotional reactions, and relationships.

✅ Develop healthier boundaries, emotional regulation, and self-compassion.

✅ Begin healing your inner child and challenging the negative messages you’ve carried for years.

✅ Replace shame-based thinking with truth, confidence, and a healthier sense of identity.

✅ Learn to live more authentically instead of constantly trying to become who everyone else expects you to be.

THIS WORKSHOP IS ABOUT MORE THAN UNDERSTANDING SHAME. IT’S ABOUT CHANGING YOUR RELATIONSHIP WITH YOURSELF!

Imagine no longer allowing your past to define your worth. Imagine being able to make mistakes without feeling like a failure, set boundaries without overwhelming guilt, and experience relationships without constantly fearing rejection.

You cannot change what happened to you, but you CAN change the meaning you’ve attached to those experiences and the power they continue to have over your life.

Your past may explain some of your struggles, but it does not have to determine your future!

This is an interactive, educational, and deeply reflective workshop designed to help you develop the awareness and tools necessary for lasting personal growth.

☕ Light snacks, coffee, tea, and water will be provided.

❤️ SPACE IS LIMITED!

If you’re ready to begin breaking free from toxic shame, please send me a private message to reserve your seat or learn more.

Healing begins when we stop believing we are the problem and start recognizing that we are worthy of love, respect, connection, and belonging.

🌿 You are not defined by what happened to you. You are not defined by your mistakes. And you are so much more than the shame you’ve been carrying.

I want to ask my friends and family to consider supporting my cousin and the ministry God has placed on his heart.

His vision is about more than responding to problems after they happen, it is about reaching people before desperation, hopelessness, and poor choices lead to consequences that can change lives forever.

One part of this ministry focuses on helping people experiencing homelessness and extreme hardship. When people feel desperate, without resources, support, or hope, they can sometimes make choices that lead to crime and further destruction in their lives. The goal is to step into that desperation with practical help, compassion, guidance, and hope before those choices are made.

Just as importantly, he wants to reach our youth and help them understand that choices have consequences far beyond the moment. Crime doesn’t affect only the person who commits it. It affects victims, children, spouses, parents, families, and entire communities. One impulsive decision can create emotional, financial, physical, and spiritual consequences that continue for years.

Young people need people willing to talk honestly with them about these realities, not simply telling them, “Don’t do this,” but helping them understand WHY their choices matter, teaching them to think beyond the moment, and showing them that there are better paths available.

I believe there is tremendous value in being proactive. We spend so much time trying to repair lives after tragedy, addiction, incarceration, violence, and crime have already occurred. What if we could reach someone before that happens? What if providing hope, resources, mentorship, education, and accountability at the right moment could change the direction of a life and potentially protect someone else from becoming a victim?

That is the heart behind this ministry: helping people recognize that their lives have value, their choices matter, and their future does not have to be determined by their present circumstances.

If this mission touches your heart, please consider supporting my cousin as he works to turn this vision into action. Whether through prayer, encouragement, volunteering, sharing the mission, or financial support, every contribution can help.

Sometimes changing a community begins by reaching one person before one desperate or impulsive decision changes everything.

A Mental Health Reminder About “Negative” Emotions

As a mental health counselor, one thing I see over and over is how difficult it is for people to tolerate uncomfortable emotions. We call them “negative” emotions, sadness, fear, anger, disappointment, guilt, loneliness, grief, rejection, but an emotion being uncomfortable does not mean it is bad or dangerous. Emotions are information. They are telling us that something inside of us needs attention. The problem begins when our primary goal becomes “I don’t want to feel this.” So we avoid the conversation. We don’t make the decision. We stay in an unhealthy situation. We distract ourselves. We stay constantly busy. We drink, eat, shop, sleep, scroll, isolate, overwork, people-please, or find some other way to numb ourselves. Sometimes we simply pretend everything is fine. And here’s what makes avoidance so tempting:

It works. At least temporarily. If I avoid something that makes me anxious, my anxiety usually decreases in that moment. My brain learns, “Good. I escaped it. Avoidance kept me safe.”
But that immediate relief comes with a very expensive price tag.
Every time avoidance becomes our solution, we teach our brain that the emotion was something we couldn’t handle. Instead of developing confidence, "That was uncomfortable, but I got through it” we reinforce the belief, “I need to escape this feeling.” Over time, our world can become smaller. Anxiety can become stronger. Problems that needed attention may become larger. Relationships can deteriorate. Resentment builds. Decisions remain unmade. Grief remains unprocessed. And depression can deepen as we withdraw from more and more of life.
Ignoring an emotion doesn’t process it.
Numbing an emotion doesn’t resolve it.
Avoiding a problem doesn’t change the reality of the problem.
Healthy emotional regulation isn’t about never feeling sadness, anxiety, anger, disappointment, or grief. It’s learning:
“I don’t like this feeling, but I can tolerate it. I can listen to what it’s telling me, decide what requires action, and allow the feeling to move through me without letting it make my decisions for me.”
That’s where emotional strength develops. The goal of mental health isn’t to create a life in which you never feel uncomfortable. The goal is to become healthy enough that discomfort no longer controls your life. Sometimes the very emotion we’re desperately trying not to feel is the emotion we need to walk through in order to finally get to the other side.

Do you know someone who struggles with mental health issues? Have you ever struggled with anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, or simply reached a point where life felt like more than you could handle?

Chances are, every one of us has been touched by mental health struggles in some way.

We still have ONE MORE DAY to give! ❤️ If you’ve thought about donating to Divine Concepts Freedom Inc. but haven’t yet, now is the time.

This mission is so incredibly important to me because I see firsthand what happens when people desperately need help but simply cannot afford it. No one should have to choose between paying their bills and getting the mental health support they need.

My heart and my vision are to make quality mental health counseling, education, and support available to people regardless of their financial circumstances. Your donation helps us move closer to making that possible.

Every gift matters. Whether it’s $10, $25, $50, $100 or more, together those gifts allow us to reach people who might otherwise go without help.

If mental health has ever touched your life or the life of someone you love, please consider coming alongside me in this mission.

There is still ONE MORE DAY. ❤️

Thank you to everyone who has already donated, shared, prayed, encouraged, and supported us. I am incredibly grateful. Together, we can help people find hope, healing, and the support they deserve.
