Jung On Purpose Podcast by CreativeMind

This week we spotlight one of our favorite episodes, "How to Overcome Shame."

Shame is a soul-eating emotion, according to Carl Jung, but we actually believe shame is a necessary part of being human. We explore the root of shame as we continue our series on emotions. In this episode, we discuss:

• What is Shame?
• What is the difference between guilt and shame?
• How shame is useful and morally required for our social life;
• How to use shame to understand ourselves and free the mind from the self-worth trap.
