Episode description
Shame makes us look away, and that makes us MUCH more vulnerable to narcissists. But it's possible to recognise when we're feeling shame and STOP our coping mechanisms to REDUCE our vulnerability.
I recently looked into shame and recognised some patterns I was not aware of, as well as coping mechanisms, and even dissociation. This explained some things I had experienced over the years. As this was awful, perhaps sharing my thoughts will make it less awful for you?
In this podcast, I run though some ideas and anecdotes, as well as share a few tips. If you'd like more on this topic, let me know.
Just as shame makes us look away, for some reason I'd been procrastinating from recording this episode. I hope you found this helpful.
