Listen "Episode 17: How to Rise above Shame: Strategies for Healing and Self-Acceptance"
Episode Synopsis
Welcome to the Soulsessed Twins Podcast. In this episode Kate and Kerry delve into the depths of our emotions and explore the profound impact of shame on our lives. They focus on valuable insights into the complex nature of shame. Join them as they unravel the layers of shame, understanding its universality and the way it isolates us from others.
Shame is an emotion that cuts to the core of our being, leading us to believe that we are inherently flawed. As we navigate through life, we discover that shame thrives in secrecy and self-condemnation. The Twins examine how shame originates from external sources, often through experiences of being shamed by others. However, the most insidious aspect of shame lies in its internalization, as we internalize the shame and start believing that there is something inherently wrong with us.
In this episode, they also explore the distinction between shame and guilt. While guilt focuses on regretting specific actions, shame engulfs us in self-loathing, making it a deeply personal and painful experience. Kate and Kerry discuss how shame can manifest in various areas of our lives, particularly in our perception of our bodies. Society's unrealistic standards perpetuate body shame, affecting women of all sizes and shapes. We emphasize the importance of open communication, seeking help from therapists, and nurturing a culture of dialogue, especially when it comes to discussing shame with our children.
Join us as we navigate the labyrinth of shame, uncovering its far-reaching impact on our lives and discovering the power of empathy, understanding, and self-acceptance as crucial tools in healing from shame. It's time to shed light on this dark emotion, break the cycle of shame, and embrace our authentic selves.
