Episode 98: Navigating the Phases of Trauma: The Impact of Shame with Shara
Episode description
In this 3rd installment of their series, Karrie Garcia is joined again with sister Shara, where they explore the concept of shame and its role in shaping human behavior and beliefs. The discussion begins with Karrie using biblical references, such as the story of Peter's denial and the woman at the well, to illustrate how Jesus engaged with individuals and encouraged them to confront their shame and underlying beliefs.
Karrie emphasizes that shame is not the end of the healing journey but rather a midpoint. The conversation delves into the idea that naming shame is crucial, but it's equally important to uncover the root causes and narratives that drive certain behaviors. Shara shares her personal experiences and struggles with shame, particularly in relation to isolation and feelings of inadequacy. Karrie guides Shara in identifying the narratives behind her behaviors and helps her recognize that understanding these narratives is key to moving beyond shame.
Listeners can expect to gain valuable insights into the complex dynamics of shame, the significance of naming and addressing it, and the importance of understanding the narratives that shape our self-perception and actions. The podcast fosters a sense of connection, empathy, and growth as the hosts engage in a candid exploration of this deeply human experience.
