In this episode we explore where embarrassment comes from (spoiler alert, it has an evolutionary advantage!), it comes from a sense of wanting to belong, be part of the group. And this is where our safety comes from.But, if as a child we had inconsistent parenting then we can internalise shame and that can lead to limiting behaviours as an adult, such as not wanting to be seen or getting embarrassed in public.We talk about the physiological impact of feeling embarrassment and shame, and how we might manage those physical sensations by accepting them rather than pushing them away.We think about the impact of social media on our feelings of shame, when we have phrased things in a clumsy way. But we are humans and we can’t get everything right all the time. We discuss how we might show ourselves compassion and acceptance that we can’t get everything right all the time.
