Your social brain "thinks" that if you are extra hard on yourself it will motivate you to do better.

But the opposite is true: The more you make yourself feel bad, the more you unconsciously do things to justify bad feelings.

This episode is on freeing yourself from shame considering:

* Evolutionary basis of this social emotion.

* Why self-shaming backfires. (Transactional Analysis)

* A simple but profound solution from the “Father of modern therapy,” Dr. Carl Rogers.
