Examining the influence of Compassion Focused Therapy on shame in justice involved men

About

Introduction
A writer and storyteller at the core, Herina Ayot holds a Master’s in Clinical Counseling for Mental Health and Wellness, and an MFA in Creative Writing from NYU, crafting narratives that reframe trauma, pain, and redemption from an experiential and existential approach. Taking an interdisciplinary approach, Herina is actively exploring the role of shame and negative self concept in persistence/desistance from crime that may have implications for psychotherapy approaches to treatment.
