In this episode of Triggered and True, Laura Duncan and Brian Freise explore shame, a universal barrier to emotional and spiritual health. Using Genesis 3, they trace shame’s origins to Adam and Eve’s knowledge of good and evil, which led to hiding from God and self. Shame, a "virus" in our operating system, fuels anxiety, depression, and identity confusion by tying what we do to who we are. Laura explains why "doing better" feeds shame and offers compassion as the antidote. Learn to identify shame through triggers like "I should," blame, or feeling inadequate. Reflect on your own triggers as we prepare for part two, where Brian shares his journey healing shame with the Compassion Method.

In Episode 62 of Triggered and True, hosts Laura and Brian explore how self-judgment is the hidden root of judging others, drawing from Matthew 7:1-2. They distinguish between everyday discernment and condemning judgment tied to shame, triggers, and identity, explaining how inner pain is displaced onto others, like through soapboxes or money critiques. Through biblical insights (e.g., Solomon's wisdom, kindness leading to repentance), they advocate healing self-judgment to enable loving, righteous responses. Listeners get homework: Reflect on harsh judgments and self-talk to uncover triggers. Dive deeper with the Compassion Method at compassionmethod.net—use code PODCAST50 for $50 off the master course.
