In today's episode, we explore the pervasive emotion of shame and its impact on our lives as queer people. We explore the role religion plays within our origin stories of shame, while analyzing patterns of behavior shared by both narcissists and the institution of religion that perpetuate victimization and shame. This episode offers strategies for recognizing and addressing shame, as well as ways to begin the process of healing feelings of shame.
