In this first Meaningful Happiness podcast with guest Dustin Burnham, Dr. Conkright introduces the topic of shame and how it plays out in one’s relationship with oneself and with others. Shame is one of the nine affects in Silvan Tompkin’s Affect theory. Affects being the biologically based, reflexive precursors to emotions. In an informal, playful, yet informative discussion, Scott and Dustin introduce basic, yet helpful concepts and give insight into how knowing about affects can help you better understand why people feel the way they do.
