Clinical Psychologist, Dr. Shawn, answers a community members question..."How much can someone change if they go to therapy and get rid of toxic shame?

Dr. Shawn begins by letting the listeners know that this question is a prompt to speak to experiences many have in relationships characterized by emotional abuse. It is not direct advice as she can not speak to the individuals situation without knowing all the information.

With that said, the discussion addresses:

Defining Social Trauma

Antisocial Personalities

Pathological lying

Domestic Violence

Toxic Loyalty Confabulation

Dr. Shawn concludes with her perspective on the real underlying therapeutic issue.
