In this week’s episode on the You Are Loved Podcast I’m talking all about how you can begin to let go of the shame and guilt that you might be experiencing.
But to be completely honest, at least in my own experience, shame and guilt don’t enter my mind with bells and a blowhorn. No, shame is more subtle and subdued.
If I was going to release the shame and guilt that I felt, I needed to shift my focus and decide if I wanted to let the thought or feeling of shame, stay and take root.
Psychologists call this “reframing.” Although, I didn’t know that was what I was doing at the time. I was reframing the thoughts that entered my mind rather than trying to avoid them in the first place.
