You 'da What?

18. Turn Shame into a Superpower and Discover Your True Self


Listen Later

This week I talk with A.J. Bond, certified shame-healing practitioner and author of the book Discomfortable: What is Shame and How Can We Break its Hold?  After experiencing a life-changing “shame breakthrough” in therapy several years ago, A.J. dedicated himself to educating others about our “master emotion” through Shame Ed classes and one-on-one coaching.

Whether you relate to the emotion of shame or not, you are going to get a lot out of this conversation! Tune in and learn how shame may be preventing you from living your best life.

Takeaways: 

  • Is all shame toxic or is some amount normal and healthy?
  • How shame gets wired in at an early age
  • Empathy as an antidote to shame
  • Purpose of dorsal vagal shutdown
  • Feel the shame and do it anyway
