Progress Over Perfection - The Shame Spiral
from The Recovery Couch Hosted by BrandonCouch10
Shame has a way of pulling us into a cycle that feels impossible to escape. One mistake leads to guilt, the guilt fuels shame, and the shame pushes us back toward the very behaviors we’re trying to leave behind. In this episode of Progress Over Perfection, Brandon Couch unpacks the destructive nature of the shame spiral and how it keeps us stuck in fear, silence, and self-condemnation. But there’s another way forward. By choosing honesty, community, and grace, we can break the cycle and step into freedom. Recovery isn’t about perfection—it’s about progress, and that means learning to rise when shame tries to pull us under.
