The HUB welcomes Frank Spinelli, M.D., author of The Shame Compass: A Radical Framework for Trauma Healing and Self-Acceptance, for a special evening of conversation, reflection, and connection in Bridgehampton. Taking place on Wednesday, August 26 from 6–8 PM, this intimate panel discussion and book signing will explore the themes at the heart of The Shame Compass—including shame, vulnerability, trauma, self-acceptance, and what it can mean to begin moving toward healing. Guests will have the opportunity to hear directly from Dr. Spinelli about the ideas behind the book, engage with a meaningful discussion surrounding emotional well-being and personal growth, and stay afterward for a book signing.
About The Shame Compass
Shame can be one of the most complicated emotions to recognize, understand, and discuss. The Shame Compass offers what its subtitle describes as “A Radical Framework for Trauma Healing and Self-Acceptance,” examining how experiences of shame can influence the way people understand themselves, their relationships, and their past. The evening at The HUB will create space for a thoughtful conversation around these ideas, helping bring subjects that are often kept private into a more open and compassionate setting. Rather than treating shame as something that simply needs to be hidden or ignored, the conversation will look at how acknowledging difficult experiences can become part of a broader process of reflection, understanding, and self-acceptance.
An Evening of Conversation at The HUB
The program will feature a panel-style discussion with Frank Spinelli, M.D., offering guests the opportunity to hear more about the inspiration and framework behind The Shame Compass. The conversation will explore themes including trauma, shame, vulnerability, healing, resilience, and self-acceptance, creating an evening intended to be both informative and deeply human. Whether you are already familiar with the book or are encountering its ideas for the first time, the event offers an opportunity to engage with an important conversation in an intimate Hamptons setting.
Meet the Author & Book Signing
Following the discussion, guests will have the opportunity to meet Frank Spinelli and participate in a book signing. It is a chance to continue the conversation, connect with the author, and have a copy of The Shame Compass personally signed. The combination of discussion and signing makes the evening more than a traditional author appearance—it is an opportunity for the community to gather around topics that can be difficult to discuss but meaningful to explore together.
