Ep 14: Understanding Shame - Part 2

In this episode, Julie and Ginger revisit the concept of shame.  Shame is a dangerous tool that leads to maladaptive behaviors.  Ginger says that “Shame is much more likely to cause destructive behaviors than to cure them.”  They explore the differences between empathy and sympathy by using Brene Brown’s video found here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KZBTYViDPlQ.  If you want to learn more about how to become shame resistant and exercise self-compassion, visit Kristin Neff’s website at https://self-compassion.org/.
