Listen "Compassion and Accountability"
Episode Synopsis
In this guided practice, we explore the “emotional flare-up hangover”—the shame, guilt, and looping thoughts that often follow a reactive moment. Instead of beating yourself up, this episode walks you through moving from shame → understanding → repair with compassion.What We CoverWhy shame spirals happen after emotional flare-upsHow survival responses override “I should have known better”Grounding the body through breath and simple affirmationsNaming what happened without judgmentUnderstanding the protective parts within youShifting into curiosity: What signs did I miss? What could help next time?Repairing with yourself and others using clear, gentle accountabilityKey TakeawayYou’re not striving for perfection—you’re learning to show up with awareness. Your reactions aren’t your identity, and giving your protective parts compassion is a powerful step toward repair.Connect with KatieDon't forget to subscribe and follow on Instagram for more: @katieostresscoaching Hosted on Acast.
