Break Free From Shame — How It Lives in Your Body and How Yoga Helps You Heal with Christy Bonner

Shame doesn't just live in your thoughts. It lives in your body. And healing it requires more than just understanding it.In this episode of The Nourished Woman Podcast, Keri Marino sits down with Christy Bonner — licensed marriage and family therapist, certified Enneagram teacher, 500-hour yoga teacher and author of Freedom from Shame — for one of the most honest and illuminating conversations about shame, healing and liberation you'll hear.Christy brings a rare combination of clinical depth, spiritual wisdom and personal vulnerability to this conversation — and together they go places most wellness podcasts never go.In this episode you'll discover the critical difference between shame and guilt — and why getting this wrong keeps women stuck, how shame lives in the body and why healing it requires a bottom-up approach not just insight and understanding, the three ways women respond to shame — moving toward, moving away and moving against — and what each reveals about your nervous system, how religious trauma and rigid faith systems create some of the deepest shame wounds and what freedom from that actually looks like, what the Enneagram shame triad reveals about types 2, 3 and 4 — and how all nine types carry shame differently, what it actually feels like when shame stops running your life — in your body, your relationships and your capacity to take up space in the world and how yoga uniquely heals shame by working on the body, mind, spirit and life simultaneously.Shame loves secrecy.
