Welcome to another episode of Joy Recovery Radio, where we delve into the concept of 'acting in' as opposed to 'acting out.' 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. Learn about Nathanson's 'compass of shame' and the four poles of shame responses: avoiding, attacking others, attacking oneself, and hiding. This episode focuses on 'acting in,' or intimacy avoidance, highlighting eight common techniques like stonewalling, controlling with anger, and withholding love. We'll also discuss potential counterbalances to these behaviors and how to foster genuine intimacy and connection. Join us to better understand the dynamics of shame and intimacy avoidance, and how to move towards a healthier, more intimate relationship.
