Shame is the dominatrix of the other emotions. It dresses in a leather suit with a zippered mouth, armed with a cat o’ nine tails. It can outlast and overpower any other emotion. Shame makes other emotions get on their knees and lick it’s high-heeled shoes.  Shame is the quiet belief, in our darkest moments, that we are unworthy of love, connection and belonging. 

So what if shame is actually the fuel for all other uncomfortable emotions such as anger, anxiety and depression? What if shame is like a parasite that gloms onto us like the Marvel anti-hero Venom and makes us believe that we are unlovable and unworthy?

Shame is the emotion you never knew you were struggling with. The first step is always awareness. With awareness, you can begin to get curious, look for it and challenge it. Find out more in this fascinating conversation!

My Guest, Lois Hollis

Lois Hollis RN, BSN, REV, at age 12, entered healthcare as a nurse’s aide. Her desire to understand and heal the body continues today at 79 as a Shame And Guilt Educator, Counselor, and now Filmmaker. She discovered that shame guilt join forces to create 24-hour negativity that causes emotional and physical illnesses. Shame talks in our sleep, and guilt talks in our waking moments, telling us we are powerless and bad.

Once Lois discovered that shame guilt were responsible for her anxiety, depression, and life-threatening illnesses, she healed from childhood traumas and 30 yrs. of migraine headaches. She shepherds others out of crisis, seeking success, or spiritual growth with her knowledge of how to identify, release, and avoid shame guilt.

She authored three books. Lois aspires to use the magic of film to make shame guilt visual. Her documentary series, “I’m Good”, will illustrate the shame guilt dangers and how to avoid them.
