Relationships and Shame with Dr. Stephan Poulter, PhD

This is a juicy episode! Regular guest, Dr. Stephan Poulter, PhD, explains two important things: 1) Shame, self-love, and intimacy are incompatible because they can never peacefully co-exist, and 2) The relationship with ourselves sets the tempo, platform, and rhythm for every other relationship in our life. Where to start? Dr. Steve says we must first acknowledge the "blind spot," or be honest with ourselves about symptoms of shame in order to build human connection with others. "All roads lead back to Rome," or back to the truth within us, otherwise, relationships are merely filled with mind games. Listen in and learn how to find that blind spot if you seek honest and meaningful relationships.
