Listen "Episode 20: Navigating Shame, Guilt, and Pride: Healthy Emotional Processing"
Episode Synopsis
Stepping Back from the MindIn this episode, we explore the often-misunderstood emotions of shame, guilt, and pride, providing you with tools for healthier emotional processing. Learn about shame and forgiveness, and how justified guilt, a cognitive response to violating values, can be addressed through apology, amends, and improving for the future. We'll introduce techniques for stepping outside yourself – imagining your experiences as a movie or advising a friend – as a powerful way to process guilt and other emotions, fostering self-compassion. Finally, we examine pride: the natural feeling of celebration after an accomplishment, emphasizing that while it provides motivation, "Pride does not mean you're good," as Mind Gem 27 reminds us, guarding against the pitfall of feeling like you are "better than" others.Tags: Shame, Guilt, Pride, Emotions, Self-Compassion, Forgiveness, Mental Health, Psychology, Well-being, Personal Growth, Self-HelpHashtags: #Shame #Guilt #Pride #SelfCompassion #MentalHealth #PersonalDevelopment #Psychology #Mindfulness✨ Thanks for listening to The Potent Mind.🎧 Subscribe for weekly insights on mindfulness, neuroplasticity, and conscious living.🌐 Learn more and access free resources at www.thepotentmind.com💬 Have a question or reflection?
