AST Model of Holistic Shame Resolution® is the only mind-body-spirit model of its kind. With a laser focus on shame resolution through its manifestations as underbeing, inner conflict, chronic criticism, paradoxical physiobiological states and spiritual shattering, it is the gold star approach in somatic-based shame resolution.

Taught as part of Somatic Experiencing Trauma Institute’s Post Advanced learning Program, AST Model® effectively harnesses the advances in neuroscience, physiobiological principles, chakra energetics & yoga principles, mindfulness, emergent design principles, stress physiology and polyvagal theory to bring their potency together in one gentle yet powerful life-changing
approach.

Neurobiologically-Based & Integrative in Nature

Built upon 14 paradigm shifts, AST Model® offers one of the most pioneering distinctions in shame resolution today. Unlike cognitive-behavioral approaches or even other neural-based approaches that often leaves the client to manage a new dilemma of half-processed, naked shame, and the professional burnt out, AST Model® partners with the various branches of the autonomic nervous system to shift the endless looping of shame and its hard-wired responses. AST Model then invites these shame shifts to integrate into mind, heart, and spirit. Concretely for clients this shows up as new thoughts, beliefs, behaviors and actions that despite historically seeming deeply habituated and impossible, now shift easily and in some instances even effortlessly.

The joy AST Model®’s offers you as a professional AST Model® respects all expertise and works best when its cutting-edge insights, principles and techniques are integrated into already successful professional backgrounds and modalities such as Hakomi, Sensorimotor, EMDR, SE, DARE and many others. AST Model®’s unique emphasis on an attuned facilitator-client alliance is reciprocal in nature. This fosters regulation between client and facilitator as the work for the client unfolds and brings shared satisfaction. Those integrating AST Model®’s approach experience less burnout, confusion, depleted energy levels, hopelessness and greater joy, satisfaction and sense of meaning when working with their clients on resolving shame.
