When we experience trauma, especially in childhood, the resources and support we receive can dramatically impact how we recover and heal. In this week’s episode, Dr. Lee invites childhood trauma survivor, Christina Padrutt, to share her powerful story of resiliency and healing. They discuss growing up in an abusive home, the different paths she and her siblings took (and the shame that came up for her around this), and the steps to begin releasing and healing from her experiences to find the light in the darkness. 

They’re exploring:

• Growing up in a physically and psychologically abusive household - the trauma, relationships & healing
• Feeling shame around receiving support & resources that others do not (and some advice from Christina if you are experiencing this!)
• The steps she took to start releasing and healing from her experiences
• And more

Christina is a survivor of childhood trauma, an adoptee, a wife, a mother, an assistant professor, and a doctorate-prepared nurse practitioner. Connect with her here:

(Note: this episode was recorded from a FB live in Dr. Lee's free group. You can find details on how to join below!)

Shame grows in the darkness, in the spaces where we don’t allow ourselves to shine a light. Dr. Lee wants to begin shedding a little light and examine some of the top areas in which we, as humans, experience shame - with a four-part shame series! 

And today, she is wrapping up the series with our fourth and final topic - sex.

What were you personally taught about sex and sexual exploration? Most of us have been conditioned to feel uncomfortable with conversations around sex and the traumas associated with it. So, where do we begin to look at how shame is being used to disempower us as humans in our sexual expression, exploration, and experiences? 

In today’s episode, Dr. Lee is diving into the most common shame topics around sex - race & ethnicity, gender, and taboo desires - and gives us some learning and resources to help examine (and release) some of the shame & trauma we have around our own sexuality.

She’s exploring:

• Sex & shame - and its connection to gender, race & ethnicity, and taboo desires
• How sex is approached in American and Western societies (and the confusing duality that may have informed your past experiences)
• BDSM, kink & nonconsensual monogamy - and the conflicting messaging we receive around pornography!
• One CRUCIAL question you can ask yourself to determine if you should feel guilty about having or communicating a particular sexual desire
• The Opposite Action Approach and its use in dealing with self-shame
• And more

Shame grows in the darkness, in the spaces where we don’t allow ourselves to shine a light. Dr. Lee wants to begin shedding a little light and examine some of the top areas in which we, as humans, experience shame - with a four-part shame series! 

And today, she is continuing the series with our third topic - body image.

The way that you relate to, connect with, and treat your body largely depends on your past learning. And if you’ve experienced past painful experiences around your size, shape, skin color, or anything else relating to your physical body - then you may have some shame around body image. Today, Dr. Lee is diving into where you might be shaming yourself around your body, where others might be contributing, and most importantly - how to start living in more connection with your body (aka your beautiful instrument).

She’s exploring:

• Recognizing what our body image is often tied to and beginning to release any shame that comes up around it
• How we can actually end up objectifying ourselves (hint: this is about self-protection)
• Changing our physical appearance - is it a shame response?
• Using our bodies for instrumentation vs. objectification 
• And more

Shame grows in the darkness, in the spaces where we don’t allow ourselves to shine a light. Dr. Lee wants to begin shedding a little light and examine some of the top areas in which we, as humans, experience shame - with a four-part shame series! 

And today, she is continuing the series with our second topic - food. 

When we struggle with food - the issue is often NOT about the food. So, as we dive into today’s conversation, Dr. Lee is breaking down the FOUR major categories that we receive shame-based messaging around food: scarcity, boundaries, love & self-image. She’s diving deep into how each of these might be coming up for you and sharing some self-coping strategies and tools you can use to start clearing up some of that shame and trauma around your relationship to food.

She’s exploring:

• A deep dive into the 4 major categories that we receive shame-based messaging around food 
• Understanding the evolutionary purpose of shame & how this relates to scarcity and food
• Harmful messaging around how to lose weight - and some reframes around this!
• Boundaries around food (and some helpful tools for setting expectations with children)
• Rituals & routines around food - are they expansive or restrictive?
• The connection between money and food 
• And more!
