Have you ever felt like you're a fraud, despite all evidence to the contrary? That's the insidious power of shame. This week on In Sanity, we go beyond the surface to reveal the neuroscience of shame. Drawing on Curt Thompson's book(s), insights from Heller & Niederwieser, and cutting-edge research, we explain how shame isn't just an emotion, but a neurobiological trap. Learn how it impacts your brain, why it makes connection so hard, and what the science says about finding freedom from its grip.
