Unraveling Shame with Jess Kovic


Listen Later

Am I enough? Am I worthy of connection? Am I worthy of love? If you have found yourself asking these questions, then you will want to listen in as Amie and Alana and their guest, Jess Kovic, talk all about shame. Jess is a certified life coach, APSATS trainee, Brainspotting practitioner, and fellow team member at Choose Recovery Services. Jess helps us dive deep into the shame surrounding betrayal - how it shows up, why it sticks around, and most importantly, how you can shed it.

Listen to learn:

  • How to identify misplaced shame

  • How perfectionism and shame are connected

  • The distinction between keeping things private vs hiding

  • Tools to use as you work to leave shame behind
