Unshaming

a new way to look at parenting and beyond

You probably came here because

you clicked on a link in David Bedricks coach directory. Or maybe …

you got this link, or you’re just curious about my English page. Since all my coach training was and still is in English, it’s just natural to also offer coaching in this language. The method of „Unshaming“ as taught by David Bedrick is fairly new and I am happy to be able to facilitate my clients in this way.

So…

Welcome, I’m glad you’re here and I want you to get a feeling for the work we could be doing.

I love David’s approach, because it brings radical acceptance to whatever you bring and want to talk about. And he isn’t the first teacher who’s taught me that acceptance is key. This is also a foundation of the parenting coaching I offer, where we say that

„All growth comes through acceptance“.

Here, acceptance meaning that we will look at whatever you bring with loving eyes and trying to understand the force behind it, learning about the medicine it bears for you.

While you can come with any issue,

you can especially bring your parenting struggles.

Raising kids is the most important job you can have, yet most of us have been parented in ways we don’t just want to pass on to our kids.

I help you understand and evaluate your old patterns, offer new perspectives and sometimes even strategies, so you can raise confident, loving, resilient children who are comfortable being themselves.

On this journey, you will also learn a lot about yourself and step towards becoming the authentic leader and guide you always wanted to be for your family and maybe even beyond. This will have ripple effects and they might happen without you even trying.

The work we do: UNSHAMING and COACHING

How do those two go together?

Coaching:

The short version is this: coaching and even teaching is for the parts where you might want some guidance and I can tell you best practices, examples and ways of interacting with your child that are very connective, rewarding and bring out the best in both of you.

Unshaming:

Then, I also want to honor and see YOU as an individual, and in that area you are the expert. We might just have to digg a little deeper to find your expertise. This work is the unshaming work. Unshaming, because we will look at parts of you that you‘re not aware of in the day to day. You might have physical symptoms, anxiety, or a tendency to scream at your kids when you’ve had enough. You might need a bowl of ice cream each night to calm down and get some peace. Whatever it is, I‘m not here to judge you, or fix this or tell you what you need to do. You have reasons for those behaviors and together we will get to know those behaviors, parts of you and patterns and they will finally make sense. Yes. That‘s what most often happens.

Your behaviors make sense.

Now, I‘m not saying „go, scream at your child“ or „have ice cream each night“. But underneath those behaviors we will find a force that will make sense. In the screaming, we might find a power that wants to be heard. The ice cream cravings might be a longing for connection, but it could also be something totally different. I won‘t know until we find out together.

Results you can expect:

A better knowing of yourself, more peace with yourself, more peace with your surroundings because you’ll be more peaceful, a happier family and most important of all: a new perspective, that helps you see life and kids and family in a new way.

Family might feel lighter, life might feel easier and you might get hugs and kisses from your kids and maybe your spouse that you long have missed.

This is far more than coaching, this is learning about yourself.

I get that this all seems to good to be true and from rosy, fairy wonderland.

And even though it sounds great, it won’t just happen over night. This work too requires awareness, practice, time and some extra love for yourself, so you can wire the changes into your brain.

And some of it might still be easy. For example, when you feel free to tell me what’s on your mind without thinking twice or trying to censor your brain. It might become easier to speak your truth. We will get closer to your most authentic self, and I will encourage you all along the way.

A little bit about myself

So if you wonder, who’s writing here? My name is Anne, I live in Dresden, Germany and I’m a wife and mom of two wonderful kids. Since I became a mom I’ve learned so much about myself, parenting, and our patterns and behavior in general. I’m convinced that a lot of our struggles as adults point towards our childhood and how we were raised. Unshaming is a powerful way of looking at and learning about yourself. I’ve used it myself, and can’t rave enough about it.

Understanding people from that point of view is my passion and if you are intrigued and want to know more, I’m happy to chat with you. The link to schedule a free call is at the bottom of this page.

My coach and teacher David Bedrick has written several books on the broader topic of UNSHAMING.

I want to recommend the most recent one to you, published in 2024, because it gives a very detailed overview and you will surely get an understanding of what this UNSHAMING approach feels like. You can get the book in any bookstore, feel free to check it out here (click on the book).
