#224 in this week’s solo episode, i open up about the mental health struggle i’ve recently been having and how i’ve developed a ‘should’ mentality around it. i explain how when we constantly tell ourselves we ‘should’ be a certain way with our mental health, we’re actually creating shame and stopping ourselves from living our best lives.
in this episode, i break down how we can all stop ‘shoulding’ and shaming ourselves and instead create actionable changes in our lives.
i talk about:
• how i caught myself using a ‘should’ mentality
• self-shame + how it gets in the way of our goals
• the psychology behind why we experience shame
• DBT skills to use when we’re feeling shame
• taking accountability when we’re acting out of shame
• guilt vs. shame + why that difference matters
• forgiving ourselves for what’s causing us shame
• moving forward from ‘shoulding’ + shame
mentioned:
• name it to tame it (message me!)
