Using insights from psychologist Donald Nathanson's work on shame, we explore the core wounds of insignificance, incompetence, and impotence that often drive shame-based belief systems.

This episode focuses on 'acting in,' or intimacy avoidance, highlighting eight common techniques like stonewalling, controlling with anger, and withholding love.
