E202 - HSP/SPS & CPTSD: The Cycle of Toxic Shame & Guilt (and how to Break it)


Listen Later

Can you guess how much % of people with complex trauma symptoms experience this cycle of toxic shame and guilt?

100 % of them. BUT many of them have no clue that they have a shame based identity.

Therefore, in today’s episode 

  • You will experience the difference between shame and guilt

  • Will understand the shocking link between shame and complex trauma as a sensitive person

  • Will discover how guilt nurtures our shame within our relationships


    And in the end I will show you at which position you can finally break the cycle to free yourself from toxic shame.

    I was honestly really surprised when I found out how much shame there is in trauma and where to actually break the cycle.
