If you’ve experienced David’s work and his teachings and practices stirred something in you, if you are wondering what he has to say next and how to apply this work to more areas of your life, then we recommend that you join UnShamed: Monthly Medicine for one month. If you find that it isn’t a good fit after that month, you can cancel at any time.

You can also ask your body, your psyche, your heart, or your intuition for guidance on whether you should join this membership.

If you’d like to learn more about David’s work before joining, a good place to start is by reading his posts on Instagram, listening to his emotional intimacy podcast In Two Deep, and watching UnShamed TV (all free resources).

UnShamed: Monthly Medicine is a way to further the unshaming work you have already begun. Because unshaming is a lifelong process, there is value in receiving monthly doses of support and practice. Weaving these live calls into your inner work can help speed up how quickly you’re able to integrate this work into your life.

This is not an introductory membership, and previous experience with unshaming is a prerequisite to joining. If you haven't been through any of the above programs, you can still join Monthly Medicine by taking the Foundations of UnShaming (a 2 hour recording) and by working through the UnShaming Guidebook.

Absolutely. The work of unshaming can help anyone, but it is perhaps most important and transformative for individuals with trauma in their pasts.

The biggest, most tragic impact of trauma is the disconnection from yourself and your path. This can create pain, difficulties, and suffering far beyond the trauma itself. The most tragic thing that trauma can do is to stop you from being on the path of you. That is what we do in unshaming work.

Yes. You will get access to the recordings of all of the monthly calls for as long as you stay in the membership.

Yes. Unshaming will help you wake up from the path of what you are currently doing, and shift away from that as quickly and gracefully as possible. Some things take weeks to release, some things take generations, but that can be helped and eased along the way so that it’s not as painful.

Everything has its own timing, its own season. It isn’t the way of nature for Summer to come early; the seeds need time to take root, the critters need time to emerge from their burrows. But you can learn how to enjoy the Winter and the Spring for what they are, and experiencing them that way allows you to exist in a very different psychological state.

To unshame, you need a witness. That witness must be someone or something that can see you in a neutral, loving, and objective way.

If you have a lot of inner criticism and you’re working on a problem you don’t like about yourself, that would make it very hard to also be a neutral, loving witness to yourself. If you think there’s something wrong with you, and you’re wondering “Why am I like this? I need to work on that,” that attitude will enter the way you see yourself and it will make unshaming very difficult, if not impossible. That is why it’s so important to get a witness, if you can.

David created this offering to provide the people who resonate with his work with an affordable way to access an unconditionally loving witness. Many past students of David have said that the best part of doing this work was having someone view them with unconditional positive regard. It is a sensation that many of us have never felt before, and that alone can be transformative.

I respect peoples' concerns about my awareness and capacity based on my social identity. I have been educated by many different teachers of all backgrounds who have experience, knowledge and awareness based on their social identity. That teaching has been a great privilege – a teaching that I am grateful to receive to this day.
