Shame Defined, with Dr. Stephan Poulter, PhD

What is shame? In this episode, Dr. Poulter and I get deep into defining and explaining what shame is, using my childhood story as a guinea pig. Do you have shame? You'll know the answer is "yes" after listening. Shame is the secret belief you are defective, inferior, or there's simply something wrong with you. Where does this come from? Why this belief? Why this misbelief? Why do we keep it secret? Plus, how does shame commonly show up? This is a powerful discussion serving as a starting point to drag shame out of the shadows so we can transform it into power!  Free Tip Sheet to Help Ban Shame: https://www.nadia-davis.com/ Order Home is Within You, A Memoir of Recovery and Redemption: https://www.nadia-davis.com/ Support the Recovery of Incarcerated Individuals: https://www.nadia-davis.com/give-back Dr. Stephan Poulter, The Shame Factor: https://www.stephanpoulter.com/ Learn more about your ad choices.
