32. Shame (And How Talk Therapy Reinforces It)
from Healing CPTSD · host Embodied Self Therapy
In this episode, we discuss the complex and often challenging emotion of shame, specifically in the context of complex trauma (CPTSD). We dive into the evolutionary function of shame, differentiating between healthy shame and toxic shame, and discusses how traditional talk therapy may inadvertently reinforce feelings of shame in trauma survivors. We'll explore the benefits of somatic therapy, which focuses on body awareness and regulation to process and release shame. By offering practical tips for recognising and addressing shame, this episode provides valuable insights to support you on your healing journey.Topics explored:Understanding Shame in CPTSDExploring Toxic ShameChallenges of Traditional Talk TherapyBenefits of Somatic TherapyPractical Tips for Managing ShameNeed to work with a trauma informed therapist?
