Video version: https://youtu.be/4WubUp7lINs?si=OwK8wA3mLVBQfkgq

Hello my loves!

In this episode of the Emotion series, I'll be delving into guilt and shame, shedding light on what sets these emotions apart and their profound impact.

Guilt revolves around actions and specific events, that inner voice reminding us when we've made a mistake. It encourages us to learn and grow. In contrast, shame goes deeper, making us feel fundamentally flawed and unworthy of love and acceptance.

Discover the link between shame and perfectionism and how societal pressures shape our sense of unworthiness. Explore how shame relates to the shadow self and its influence on our actions. Learn how shame can lead to isolation and self-destructive behaviour, while guilt often motivates positive change. I'll share strategies to transform shame into guilt, emphasizing self-compassion, empathy, and accountability.

This episode also touches on the gendered aspects of shame, encouraging empathy and understanding.

Join me as we navigate these complex emotions, offering you a deeper understanding and empowering you to embrace self-acceptance. Don't forget to subscribe for more insightful episodes. Until next time, take care. Bye-bye.
