Welcome to Therapy Chat! In today’s episode host Laura Reagan, LCSW-C talks about Secrecy, Shame and the Shadow. Laura references previous Therapy Chat episodes 38 with Renee Beck, 40 with Lourdes Viado and 42 with Keri Nola – all about the Shadow. If you haven’t listened to those episodes yet, check them out too – links are below. Laura talks about how we carry beliefs about what makes us different – what disconnects us from everyone else, and how we hold shame about those things we don’t like about ourselves. Those secrets we can’t tell anyone are shameful to us, and create further disconnection. Laura talks about how we can connect based on our common human experience, and how using loving kindness can help us to embrace all the parts of ourselves. Tune in and then contact Laura through the Therapy Chat website to share something you think makes you different, a part of yourself you don’t like! You may be featured on a future episode (with your permission).
