Gabor Maté: Why Your Trauma is Showing Up as Guilt, Fear, and Shame & How to Untrap Yourself from the Past

On Purpose with Jay Shetty

NOTE

Exploring Guilt, Shame, Fear, and Other Emotions

The insight here delves into the intertwined nature of guilt, shame, fear, and authenticity. Acting against one's authentic self stems from a fear of experiencing guilt, shame, or fear. Conversely, when one acts authentically, they may still feel guilt, shame, or fear due to the impact on others. Emotions like anger, rage, and resentment are frequently experienced but often unacknowledged due to the fear of consequences. Love is another emotion often suppressed out of vulnerability. Shame, linked to trauma, is a common emotion people face. Joy, though not as feared as others, can still be challenging to embrace, especially when juxtaposed with global suffering. The concept that one has the right to experience joy despite the world's hardships is highlighted, emphasizing the importance of acknowledging joy amidst suffering.
