Developing healthy and clinically skilled therapists is the main goal of many counselor educators and supervisors. The aim of this presentation is to explore both the empirical and applied impact of shame and empathy on the professional identity development of counselors, counselor educators, and supervisors. Our aim is to provide both scientific and personal examples of how we can limit the inhibitory power of shame and harness the healing power of empathy.
