Freedom from the Shame that Binds You

EPISODE   51       

Many of us don't realise how much of a hold shame - specifically toxic shame - has over us. When shame is 'toxic', we don't just feel shame over what we do but we experience deep shame over WHO WE ARE.

Toxic shame at the core of our identity re-tells the lie that our worth depends on never making a mistake or never disappointing others.

In this episode I share some of my own experiences of shame and how I began to be freed from the hold that it had over me.
