Many of our issues as adults can be linked back to circumstances or events in our childhood that led to some form of guilt or shame, where we were not able to process through those emotions in a healthy way. The echoes of these feelings touch our daily lives, affecting us and the people around us. Many experience guilt and shame as such negative emotions, it’s no wonder we want to go out of our way to help our children avoid these feelings.

There is a slight, but important nuanced difference between guilt and shame. Once we understand this difference, we can address these feelings from the correct perspective, helping our children work through their guilt or shame, so they don’t carry those things with them indefinitely. In this episode we talk about the origins of shame, the positive side of guilt, and how we, as parents and examples to our children, can begin to let go of these feelings for ourselves.
