College Is Fine, Everything's Fine

#44 Microdose on Overcoming Shame and Embarrassment


Listen Later

Out of all the emotions we have, shame (and its cousin, embarrassment) tends to feel the worst. And since it feels the worst, it often makes us act in some ugly and super unhelpful ways. We tend to yell, hide, blame and injure - both ourselves and people we care about - when we feel shame. 

This microdose episode kicks off our “Shame Series,” where we describe:

  • what the emotions of shame and embarrassment are, 
  • when we tend to feel these emotions,
  • how we can tell whether our emotions “fit the facts” of the situation, and 
  • which skills you can use to move past shame stuck points. 

Make sure to stay tuned (and subscribe!) so that you have first access to our upcoming episodes, where we’ll talk about how to overcome social mistakes, manage heartbreak, and fight imposter syndrome.
