What if shame isn't a flaw, but a signal that something essential in you has been pushed away? In this week's episode, Aimee sits with David Bedrick, therapist, author of The Unshaming Way, and a passionate advocate for psychological truth-telling. They explore how shame disconnects us from our experience, distorts our emotions, and shapes our identities from the inside out. Through somatic awareness, storytelling, and radical compassion, David invites us into the process of unshaming—not fixing ourselves, but fully witnessing and embracing the parts we've exiled.David takes us through:- Why shame cuts us off from empathy, truth, and genuine accountability- How trauma and unacknowledged pain become embedded in the body- The power of somatic language to access “unshamed experience”- What it means to witness, rather than fix, someone in pain- Why reclaiming emotion, desire, and personal narrative is essential to healing- How unshaming returns us to wholeness and expands our capacity to love, feel, and actAnd so much more!David Bedrick, JD, Dipl. PW, is a teacher, counselor, and attorney. He grew up in a family marked by violence. While his father's brutality was physical and verbal, his mother's denial and gaslighting had its own covert power. This formative context introduced David early to the etiology of shame and instilled an urge to unshame.Professionally, he was on the faculty for the University of Phoenix and the Process Work Institute in the U.S. and Poland, and is the founder of the Santa Fe Institute for Shame-based Studies, where he trains therapists, coaches, and healers and offers workshops for individuals to further their own personal development.David writes for Psychology Today and is the author of three books: Talking Back to Dr. Phil: Alternatives to Mainstream Psychology and Revisioning Activism: Bringing Depth, Dialogue, and Diversity to Individual and Social Change.

There's a powerful psychological state that can paralyze us, interfere with effective relationships, block our empathy, and cause us to inflict harm. It's called shame.Today, David Bedrick shares what shame is, how it's created, and its connection to trauma. Some say shame keeps us humble, but David shares why we don't need shame because it's not the same as embarrassment or regret. We unpack why shame is not a feeling but a psychological state that can leave you numb - and how you can instead create a space of safety and security within yourself. David shares how we can snap out of a shame spiral in the moment and also gives insights as to why some people may feel a need to shame others. David makes us think about our need to “solve,” or pathologize as he puts it, shame, anger, depression, and the like rather than process root causes to make meaning. He offers an intriguing thought experiment to try to break yourself of this tendency! Lastly, we touch on how to unashame conflict and dialogue through conflict in a more productive way. To access the episode transcript, please search for the episode title at www.TheEmpathyEdge.comKey Takeaways:Shame is different from embarrassment or humiliation. Shame is a psychological state that may have feelings associated with it. Negative feelings are not bad - they can even be helpful for understanding our behavior and lead us to making an action toward repair. Say the criticisms in your head aloud from the perspective of the negatives - it gives you a chance to respond and advocate for yourself. "If shame enters my system, the only thing I care about is removing the bad experience I have in myself. I don't care about you. I care about being low. In the fully shame psyche, you don't exist as a person that matters to me at all." — David Bedrick, JD, Dipl.

Teacher, author, and psychological activist David Bedrick is here to talk about breaking free from shame to live a life of freedom, health and vitality, as he elaborates in his beautiful book "The Unshaming Way."I know I know, we all know about shame these days, but the way David talks about this topic is truly deep, gentle and illuminating. I have learned so much from his book, and keep going back to this simple concept "Shame robs us of an inner lover and protector," and of course, the opposite of this is to internalize love and protection in our system. We both share our insights and stories of working with shame from our childhoods, more illuminating and effective than any stats or statements I find. David is a lovely human and this was such an essential conversation in our journey back home to ourselves. If you want to get involved with his work and get your hands on his incredible book which I highly recommend: https://www.davidbedrick.com/Takeaways*Shame obstructs our deeper experiences and self-awareness.*The greatest injury of shame is making ourselves invisible.*People pleasing is often a trauma response, not a personality trait.*Parents' unfulfilled lives can shape their children's paths.*Healing involves reclaiming our authentic selves and stories.*Witnessing and integrating our experiences is crucial for healing.*The quality of relationships is key to emotional health.*Vulnerability in leadership fosters genuine connections.*There is inherent goodness beneath our coping mechanisms.*Self-accompaniment and compassion are vital for personal growth.
Welcome to episode 57 of the MindThatEgo Podcast and the first of a new series on dreams. I'm joined by David Bedrick, the founder of the Santa Fe Institute for Shame-based Studies, where he trains therapists, coaches and healers, and offers workshops for individuals.David graduated from the Process Work Institute and has been adjunct faculty for over 15 years. He studied under Arny Mindell, the founder of process-oriented psychology. Mindell was a student of Carl Jung, who integrated physics and the body into Jung's work. David also taught psychology and philosophy courses at the University of Phoenix.His latest book, The Unshaming Way, is the focus of today's conversation. Topics include: common misconceptions of shame, trauma-based and cultural origins of shame, the healing power of an unshaming witness, the intelligence of bodily experience, unshamed views of madness, depression and mental illness, expressing and learning from big emotions, the “dreambody” as a metaphor for inner processes, and why dreams naturally provide an unshamed view. Enjoy.---David's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/david.bedrick/?hl=enDavid's YouTube: https://youtube.com/@davidbedrick3872?si=o1WhsyD64qPnh4KT---

How often do you catch yourself wondering, What's wrong with me? If you've ever felt trapped in cycles of shame—you're not alone. In this episode, I sit down with David Bedrick, author of The Unshaming Way, to explore how shame shapes our lives, how power and privilege protect themselves, and why unshaming is the real path to healing. We talk about how gaslighting (both internal and external) keeps us small, why recognizing our own privilege is essential as healers and leaders, and how we can rewrite the narratives that have been imposed on us. We also take a look at David's astrology, including his Chiron in Aquarius, and how the “wounded healer” archetype plays into his life's work. If you've ever struggled with internalized shame or questioned your place as a leader, this episode is for you.
Imagine growing up with a constant sense of shame, only to realize later how powerful unshaming witnesses can be in healing that wound. This episode features the insightful David Bedrick, a teacher, counselor, and author, who sheds light on the profound impact of shame on our personal development. Through intimate stories, he reveals how his challenging upbringing, marked by his father's violence and his mother's denial, shaped his understanding of the dual role witnesses play in either perpetuating or alleviating shame. David's narrative serves as a poignant reminder of how crucial it is to validate and believe in each other's experiences to foster genuine self-acceptance and transformation.We navigate through the intricacies of intersectional oppression and systemic dehumanization, diving into gender-based insults and the cultural forces that perpetuate harmful stereotypes. Our conversation emphasizes the necessity of differentiating between individual and systemic oppression when addressing these issues. Recognizing these oppressive messages' historical roots, we explore solidarity and empowerment as vital tools for healing. David shares how healed individuals can act as catalysts for collective healing, challenging societal norms while supporting others in similar struggles, illustrating the potential for a transformative ripple effect throughout society.Our discussion takes us further into the realms of consciousness and representation, where we examine how historical oppression continues to influence power dynamics today. Understanding these dynamics is key to fostering meaningful connections and personal growth. We also touch on the concept of shame, questioning whether it can ever be constructive in encouraging just actions. Throughout the episode, we explore how healing can be a pathway to becoming one's true self, engaging authentically with one's passions and purpose. By reflecting on personal experiences and insights from influential figures, we invite listeners to embark on their own journey of self-realization, honoring their unique calling in life.The Unshaming Way - Weekend Workshophttps://www.mnpc.co.uk/events/the-unshaming-way-weekend-workshop?fbclid=IwY2xjawITM8FleHRuA2FlbQIxMQABHaD_vGQx3RCUazdDC3VcC5fETwPU-1PtB_8X88ZNygfOsFhhwHsTeElmTw_aem_hAhs1AAMG9B1kdV80z2uSwOrder The Unshaming Way: https://a.co/d/dYTwNa7Website: https://www.davidbedrick.com/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/david.bedrick/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/DBedrickPsychology Today: https://www.psychologytoday.com/ca/contributors/david-bedrick-jd-dipl-pwThis Podcast is sponsored by Onlinevents

On this episode of The Karen Kenney Show, I had the honor and delight of speaking with one of my teachers and mentors, David Bedrick!David is a teacher, counselor, attorney, and the founder of The Sante Fe Institute for Shame-based Studies.He's also the author of four books and on this episode, we discuss his latest: THE UNSHAMING WAY - A Compassionate Guide to Dismantling Shame.This fantastic book addresses how to heal from shame, unlearn self-blame, and reclaim your story.As someone who has been deeply impacted by his work on shame and the unshaming process, I was super excited to dive into a rich conversation about vulnerability, trauma, and the power of authentic expression. We also explored the profound impact of violence, childhood trauma, and how the internalization of shame can shape our adult experiences. Perhaps most importantly, David shared his unique approach to "unshaming," which involves genuine curiosity and a deep respect for each person's sacred story. Rather than trying to fix or change someone, he invites them to fully inhabit and express their authentic selves - a process that often unlocks hidden gifts and strengths. One of the surprising key moments for me was when David and I both reflected on how we were once labeled as "shy" kids, when in reality, we were simply responding to fear and a lack of safety!I've benefited immensely from this work, and now I'm so happy to get to share David and these insights with you.I'd love to hear your favorite and most impactful takeaways, too!KEY POINTS:• The power of vulnerability and transparency in building trust and safety• How childhood trauma can lead to internalized shame and self-criticism• Reframing "shyness" as a response to fear - rather than a personality trait• David Bedrick's definition of shame as a viewpoint, not just a feeling• The transformative potential of authentic expression and the "unshaming" process• The exacerbating role of systemic oppression in fueling internalized shame• The Nest - Group Mentoring Program DAVID'S BIO: David Bedrick, JD, Dipl.

Teacher, counselor, and attorney David Bedrick has developed a profound method for helping people unshame their shame. In this third episode of our short non-grad series of four, David and Drew dive deep into a conversation about the true nature of shame and how to heal it through what David calls Unshaming. While David is not a graduate of the Process, his work is very closely aligned with the work of the Process. As David says, "Shame is an internalized vision of oneself. It creates feelings, but they are not feelings." According to David, to heal shame, someone must truly witness us. In telling our story of what happened, we need to be heard, seen, and understood. We need to be humanized, not stigmatized or pathologized. He says we must be "witnessed for being a human being who's been through an experience. That's unshaming. That's humanizing." We hope you enjoy this profound conversation on the nature of healing shame with David and Drew. **This episode mentions physical and sexual violence and may not be suitable for all listeners.

In this episode we have a conversation with David Bedrick. David is a Jewish author, teacher, attorney and psychologist that focuses most of his work on what he calls unshaming and helping others see themselves more than through the lens of shame. In this episode David gives us a window into how his Jewish identity and experiences has shaped him and his worldview. We then discuss the current situation in Palestine and having a morally clear vision of what is happening, but a humanizing one at the same time. We then end on the idea of unshaming, what a lens of shame is and how to dismantle shame in our own lives and others.

"Shame is a paradigm that distances us from our power. It's a paradigm within ourselves that, when internalized, it keeps us from recognizing our own experience in a variety of ways, and also recognizing our own experience as valuable.... There's this whole culture that tells us to love ourselves, right? And, well, have you even gotten to know yourself? It's like self love just kind of happens when you really get to know yourself."Listen in on a fascinating conversation between Leela Sinha and Sara Rhiannon (she/her), a hypnotist who uses somatic work and other interventions designed to un-shame the psyche. Sara has a particular specialty in helping people remove their cravings for sugar. Sara and Leela discuss the intersections of shame and anti-oppression work; kindness and redemption; creating safety and honesty in working groups; and that mushy feeling in your brain when you're learning something and seeing how your brain can be different than it was. Which, naturally, some people love, and others... well, not so much.Links!Find Sara on Facebook by name, or as quit_sugar_coach on Instagram or TikTok.For more on David Bedrick, visit https://www.davidbedrick.com/For more on Kimberly Shepherd, check out: https://www.kimberlyshepherd.com/Transcript and notes:https://dev.intensivesinstitute.com/episode/interview-sara-rhiannon-the-quit-sugar-coachRecorded 9 June 2023.

This week, David Bedrick, an elder dedicated to the work of Unshaming, joins me on the podcast to discuss what it means to step into the transformative potential of eldership. We explore the ache for elders in our culture and the necessity of imparted wisdom, courage, and insight. David shares his personal journey of finding his path and the role of elders in guiding and supporting him. Together, we discuss the quality of humility, the power of embracing the darkness, and the regenerative nature of forgiveness as a path of heart. About David Bedrick David Bedrick is an elder dedicated to the work of unshaming our culture and our world. He is the founder of the Santa Fe Institute for Shame Based Studies and the author of several books, including "Talking Back to Dr. Phil" and "17 Women's Stories of Hunger, Body, Shame and Redemption." David's upcoming book, "Unshamed," will be published in 2024. Summary: David Bedrick, an elder and founder of the Santa Fe Institute for Shame Based Studies, joins the podcast to discuss the concept of eldership and the importance of stepping into this role in our culture. He emphasizes the need for elders to embrace their path of heart and share their wisdom and experiences with others. David also explores the significance of humility, death, and regenerativeness in the journey of becoming an elder. Key Takeaways: Eldership is not just about age, but about embracing a path of heart and sharing wisdom with others. Humility is essential for elders, as it allows them to acknowledge their mistakes and share their experiences with others. Embracing periods of death and rebirth is a crucial part of the journey to becoming an elder. Regenerativeness is a key aspect of eldership, as it involves continually renewing and recreating one's own life. Links: David's Website David's Instagram Unshamed: Monthly Medicine

Healing from a pornography habit can be an extremely challenging and disturbing experience, and David's perspective is that it shouldn't be simply accepted. There are often hidden gifts in the shame that may arise, and we're exploring this on this episode. David shares his own unshaming story and his unique approach to unshaming. He offers insights into why shaming ourselves never leads to change, the difference between guilt and shame, and what the practice of unshaming can look like in reality.

In this riveting dialogue, Jeff and Author Therapist David Bedrick take on shame, and discuss some of the things we can do to unshame and regain our sovereignty and healthy self-regard. It serves the powers that be if we are riddled with internalized shame. It serves us to rebuild our self-concepts and bring our brilliance into form.

“I'm not trying to glorify suffering. If people can find ways of suffering less, I think that's a really great thing. But I also find some beauty in - if we all sat around and talked about how terrified we were, I would rather be in that group than a bunch of groups who think they've healed it all.” - David Bedrick Ever Forward Club's Ashanti Branch is joined by David Bedrick. David is the founder of the Santa Fe Institute for Shame-Based Studies where he teaches therapists, coaches, and healers from around the world. He is the author of three books: “Talking Back to Dr. Phil”, “Revisioning Activism”, and “You Can't Judge a Body by Its Cover.” David believes that being ashamed and emotionally hidden plays far too great of a role in how our society behaves and interacts. To counteract this behavior he believes in allowing the back of the mask to breathe and express its beauty. In this conversation, David and Ashanti do just that. (1:55) Ashanti's introduction. (6:25) David introduces himself and his focus on depth psychology and shame. Then, he and Ashanti discuss what it takes to come back to one's self and cleanse oneself from all of the conditioning we've received in life. (13:50) David unpacks his Jewish heritage and how it dictates some of the choices he makes in subconscious ways. (19:50) David shares the front of his mask - teacher, writer, feeling/vulnerability. (21:35) Ashanti shares the front of his mask - serious, resting frown face, funny. (29:35) Ashanti gives David some details about his life, background, and work, as well as his communities attitude toward education. (41:40) David shares the back of his mask - nighttime hell, exhaustion, terror - and how he finds beauty and belonging in his terrors. (49:30) Ashanti shares the back of his mask - fear, worry, self-doubt, I go to church, inner battle. (53:30) David shares how you can get in touch with him, as well as some final thoughts on suffering.

David Bedrick is a psychological activist - an ally to the unheard and marginalized voices inside individuals and the culture at large. Join Traci as she discusses body image, body-shame and diet culture with David, which is also the subject of David's book: You can't judge a Body by its Cover: 17 Women's Stories of Hunger, Body Shame, and Redemption. Episode Timeline [00:09] Intro [0:58] Meet David [2:39] How David (a white man from New York) came to write a book about women's bodies [9:33] How David's longing to be witnessed led to him become a witness to others [13:42] Psychological Activism [14:48] What's cooking? [29:40] The inner paradox of diet culture [38:12] How you can find David [41:43] David's message to the Sidewalk Talk volunteers [43:06] Closing [43:32] Outro Resources Mentioned You can't judge a Body by its Cover: 17 Women's Stories of Hunger, Body Shame, and Redemption (David's book) Standout Quotes “The idea of having a witness to somebody else's suffering my own and other people's bodies and difficulties became a very important thing to me.” (David) “So my fascination or hunger to learn from other people was really important to me.” (David) “The word that's just coming into the foreground is this deep longing that you had to be witnessed, that you've now been transmuted into as the witnesser.” (Traci) “What happens if I'm not seen or I'm looked at as a problem and not as a source of brilliance or beauty or creativity?” (David) “Are you trying to make everyone a sliced piece of really boring American cheese where we're all plasticy wrapped up in that cellophane wrapper so that we're convenient and we go back to work and we're not a pain in the ass?” (Traci) “And what I hear you advocating for is the beauty, the wisdom, the complexity, the nuance, the multigenerational story that a soul holds, and the fixed idea of psychology sometimes doesn't do a very good job of gestating.” (Traci) “Research says 98% of women have violent voices in their head every day about their bodies. And it's not minor violent. Not like that doesn't look good on you. I'm not talking about that. I would repeat them, but then we'd have to slow down and hear them because they're so gross.” (David) “Oh, my god. So what if what if all of us women are going on diets and choosing to fail the diets because it's the actual way that we're trying to rise up against patriarchy to say fuck you to the diet.” (Traci) Connect: Find | Sidewalk Talk At sidewalk-talk.org On Instagram: @sidewalktalkorg On Twitter: @sidewalktalkorg Find | Traci Ruble At Traciruble.com On Instagram: @TraciRubleMFT On Twitter: @TraciRubleMFT On Facebook: @TraciRubleMFT Find | David Bedrick At www.davidbedrick.com In Two Deep (David's podcast): https://www.intwodeep.com/ SUBSCRIBE TO THIS PODCAST On Apple Podcasts On Google Podcasts On Spotify On YouTube
"If you say to me, "this is what my ancestors experienced 200 years ago, 500 years ago, 20 years ago, 20 minutes ago." And I don't witness that, which means I say, "Come on, get over it, let it go. I can't believe you're still hanging on to that stuff." That's a shaming witness. When I do that, it completes the trauma bond. That's not a past trauma. That's a current trauma in the moment." -- David BedrickMy collaborator on the Shame Clinic, David Bedrick and I had an incredibly important conversation today. We discussed:(1) the difference between assault and shame,(2) what exactly a 'shaming witness' is in the context of oppression, and(3) how a 'shaming culture' is formed in a society that perpetuates trauma over and over again in present time;(4) and what it takes to heal.This is some of the most powerful teaching on the psychology of shame and oppression that I have ever encountered. Listen now. Register for the Shame Clinic today for deeper work on this.
Our society tells us that we are supposed to look, act, and be a certain way. But the reality is that a majority of us do not fit into those ideal molds. And half of the people that do, are faking it. Stacy Sorgen has been a health and fitness professional for well over a decade, and she does not fit the mold. She had to carve her own path in one of the most judgmental industries there is. Join us for a conversation about how she fought back against expectations in order to help others live their best lives.

I've taught mat-based Pilates, Spin, CoreMania, Silver Sneakers, Adaptive Strength Training, Yoga, Total Body Conditioning, Bootcamps, etc. I work with many organizations, and have taught onsite and online corporate classes at Google, Adobe, Davis Wright Tremaine, McKinstry, EXOS, Fremont Athletic Club, and more. I've coached runners for 15+ years and served as Head Coach for SoleMates for GOTRPS for 5 years. I hold Yoga Teacher Certification RYT200 (2015), STOTT Pilates Mat-based practice training (2010), and a certification as a Holistic Health Coach from the Institute for Integrative Nutrition (2013). I completed the 9 month Body Trust Project: School for Unlearning in 2021 and the Promoting Body Trust in Your Work for Practitioners in 2022, both hosted by Be Nourished. I'm dedicated to creating an environment for movement that is equitable, accessible, and diverse. Social justice is paramount and I strive to continue growing in my ability to be of service and support to groups traditionally excluded by the diet/wellness industrial complex. I recently completed a 3 workshop program with Dianne Bondy and Amber Karen's with “Yoga For All” on the topics of implicit bias in movement spaces, using trauma-informed language to create affirming spaces, and adapting Yoga asana for all bodies. In July 2022 I successfully completed a 9 month Process-Oriented Facilitation (somatic interventions) program led by David Bedrick, JD, Dipl PW. Most recently I completed EXOS education's course, “The Applied Neuroscience of Peak Performance”. I'm currently pursuing the GGS-1 Women's Coaching Specialist Certification with additional study regarding movement and PCOS, strength training specific to Menopause, and pre/post-natal considerations for movement. When it comes down to it, I'm really just a queer, anxious, fat cis woman who grew up in a suburb of Chicago. I now live in Seattle, WA with my incredibly patient and kind wife of 12 years (almost 13 years) and our 3 dogs; Oliver (Boxador), Pumpkin (Italian Greyhound/Chihuaua), and Emmie (Chihuahua). Would you believe me if I told you that my wife and I met on Craigslist? Lol. I looooove live music, random acts of kindness, paddle boarding on Lake Washington, and cozy nights watching some sort of trashy television. I love movement in many different forms and I do the work that I do because I'm passionate about it – and I love to use that passion for movement to support others. I love triathlons, a really good slice of pizza, saying hello to every dog I meet – ever, and reading trashy books on the beach.
Curious what shamanic shape-shifting is and what it has to do with shame? Well listen in, friends! My teacher and collaborator David Bedrick is sharing what the shamanic approach to unshaming is, how we'll be leading and facilitating this process in the Clinic, and how The Shame Clinic will equip you with a new frame of reference and emotional vocabulary for seeing, knowing, and talking to yourself.Find links to everything mentioned in this episode including The Shame Clinic and David's work here: https://www.simonegraceseol.com/208
This week, I'm introducing you to my co-conspirator, co-creator, and co-teacher of a brand new class called The Shame Clinic. David Bedrick is a teacher and mentor of mine, and the work we've done together has so radically transformed my life, so I talked him into a collaboration. Together, we've teamed up to create a five-week intensive course designed to uproot shame so you can develop a new framework for relating to yourself, and you're hearing all about it today.Find links to everything mentioned in this episode as well as links to David's work here: https://www.simonegraceseol.com/207
On this week's episode of #mensexpleasure, I chat with Jessica Harvey. Jessica is a certified Sex, Love & Relationship Coach with Layla Martin's VITA coaching. She is professionally-certified with the ICF at the PCC level, and is a student of Process-Oriented Psychology with David Bedrick. Her trauma-informed coaching is also inspired by her devotion to classical tantrik meditation and non-dual philosophy under Paul Muller-Ortega and Christopher Wallis. Jessica spent 10 years in a successful career as a Ph.D. chemist before leaving it all to go say ‘yes' to what scared her. She spent 4 years in full-time study and practice of neo-tantric sexuality, shadow work, and kundalini in a tantric community in Asia. Now she likes to say that she studies a different kind of ‘chemistry,' and people often call her the ‘tantric scientist.' Since launching her Bliss Science coaching business, she has worked with hundreds of men - CEOs and leaders in tech, finance, and consulting - to rekindle passion in sexless marriages, recover confidence post-divorce, heal from performance anxiety, communicate in ways that women love, and develop a tantric mentality to life. Her offerings include: her proprietary Love, Sex, and Confidence course for Men, her new Sex Mastermind for Men, in-person VIP days, and custom-tailored 1:1 online coaching for all genders. The two of us talk about the ways in which men can open up more to their sexuality and take their sexual experiences to a deeper level. Hint: It requires getting in touch with your emotions. Key Points: Jessica introduces herself Going a journey of sexual self-discovery Men opening up about sex How to talk to your partner about sex Taking sex deeper with emotions Creating sexual safety for women Practical advice for men Relevant links: Jessica's Instagram: @bliss.science Jessica's Website: https://www.bliss-science.com/
Dear Soul Family,Check out tonight's Blood Flower Moon (Total Lunar Eclipse) in Scorpio beginning in its partial phase at 9:28 pm central and ending at 1:00 am. The peak is at 11:11 pm. All Lunar Eclipses operate as Super Full Moons and time accelerators helping us face and heal the shadow and as this one is in Scorpio with the South Node featuring Venus with Chiron. We've been feeling this one coming from a mile away, haven't we? Oof!! If you're anything like me you might feel like crawling out of your skin. This is just the time my dear friend Intuitive Julie Brown would say something like “you're feeling these difficult emotions right now because you are clearing them.” Be gentle with yourself."I always feel something in me unlock when she says this, a part that's been fightning, struggling, locked up tight and in deep contraction. To recognize there is a process at work that is ultimately working toward my wholeness and peacefulness and inner congruence is a great relief. And when I feel that relief suddenly my heart opens. And ultimately that is the benefit of shadow work. Our hearts open to meet ourselves, others and our lives with more softness, more presence, more grace. So if you've been feeling exhausted, heavy, low on energy and just wanting to nap all day it's no wonder. If you've felt out of sorts, cranky or like there's a pressure cooker living inside your guts you're not alone. Know you are in a process of being “cooked” from the inside out with all of the pressure and intensity helping you become more of a well seasoned and delicious human.I love the work of psychological activist David Bedrick and recently came upon his wonderful description of Shadow Work as follows: "A person tells me they're too judgmental. I hear a person ready to become more discerning, to have clear opinions, or who feels inferior and needs to be lifted up.A person tells me they're a procrastinator.I hear a person who is trying to do something that is somehow not right for them. Or a person who is ruled by an unfriendly type of discipline, an inner criticism, whose self-love won't let them proceed under that inner tyranny.A person tells me "I STILL haven't resolved my trauma, attachment issues, dependencies."I hear a person needing to be closer to their humanity and the humanity of others. Or a person who needs a more forgiving attitude towards themselves. (Perhaps that even helps the road to their healing become more pure and clear.)A person tells me they need to learn to trust. I hear a person who is not quite at home in being closed, having boundaries, or simply needs to listen more closely to their own counsel and heart.A person tells me that they can't RELEASE their anger. I hear a person who has an unfriendly relationship with a kind of power that rises up in them. A person needing support to not only deeply feel their anger but to embody it, express it and enjoy the way it feels. (by the way, that smooths out anger, making it more able to do its job and not unwisely injure).When I hear the voice of the divine singing in my ear, it says, "Listen carefully to the complaints people make about themselves. When they are mixed with comparison, critical self-evaluation, even self-hatred, slow down and bring some grace and love to what they malign, marginalize and push away. Don't support the creation of more shadow. Help them come home to themselves - the magnificent self they already are.
Episode 49: Revolutionizing Weight Loss Strategies (ft. David Bedrick) Trauma can lead to shame, which can lead to self-destructive talk and behaviour. David Bedrick is a psychologist that specializes in helping women heal trauma, deal with the self-destructive talk and behaviours, and get their LIVES back! David's teachings and therapies offer women a chance to see an alternative to looking at our bodies through a lens that others created, one that values where we are and where we want to go, and REMOVE the shame that many have felt for their entire lives. WHAT YOU'LL LEARN: What is ‘hunger', which is more than physical hunger How to change the way you look at yourself To acknowledge that others judge books (you) by the cover, not always aware of the story you carry inside How to reduce self shame Why only 5% of women are successful at sustainably losing weight Why 81% of ten-year-old girls are dieting regardless of their BMI index Why 97% of women have violent voices in their heads about their bodies Why being overweight, even mildly obese, is not a health risk while gaining and losing lots of weight (yo you) is a risk How David's new book “You Can't Judge A Body By Its Cover” features 17 stories from bodies impacted by sexism and racism, rape and harsh parental criticism, and by the deepest hungers for an authentic life How David is teaching women to express their power, creativity, beauty, and intelligence with themselves, in relationships, and in the world Why the diet industry amasses over $70 billion, and it banks on women's body shame and perceived failure around weight AND MORE!

In a time when millions of citizens have hit the streets to protest for or against something, in an attempt to bring change to the most critical issues facing humanity, David Bedrick invites us to look at a different kind of activism. “It’s an activism born more from the mind and heart than marching feet. It’s expressed not by a megaphone or signs but through teaching, writing, and facilitating dialogue. An activism that embraces our individual and collective shadows rather than opposing them or fighting against them.”
David Bedrick is a psychologist, speaker, teacher, and attorney, and author, but that does not sum up the heart of David and his work. He is a deeply gentle, thoughtful, and compassionate human being who shares an insatiable curiosity to both understanding human beings and advocating for those who are oppressed. Together we share stories, deep questions, and a loving look a the world of body shame, and the expansive world of diet and body obsession masquerading as wellness. He has written a beautiful book of women's stories through the lens of a compassionate witness. Not only are the stories he shares relatable, but they also hold the wisdom of looking into our own hunger to find the answer to what it is we really crave. I have worked diligently to lean away from conversations on body, diet, and weight-loss because I do not want to give more energy to what has consumed so many of us. However, this conversation is different, it is deeper, more radical, and an invitation to look beneath the story for your own body's innate wisdom.https://www.davidbedrick.comhttps://www.facebook.com/david.bedrick.9Pre-order his book "You Can't Judge A Body By Its Cover" at your favorite bookseller.

David Bedrick If you're feeling pulled towards some sort of activism but aren't sure what, join us here! David Bedrick helps us broaden our vision to include how the social/political world impacts the inner lives of people, how dialogue across diverse viewpoints can impact hearts and minds, and how psychology can play a role as a social-change agent. Bedrick deconstructs racism by looking at divergent views of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. He deconstructs sexism by critiquing the diet industry and the way women feel about their bodies. Bedrick brings this same psychological eye to understanding societal problems (e.g., gun control, addiction), national celebrities (e.g., Robin Williams, Lance Armstrong), and popular psychology’s failure to create sustainable change. He provokes critical thinking, feeling, and dialogue.It’s a daring call to empower activism and see ourselves as individuals intimately woven into a web of relationships and social issues.

In this week's episode, we're joined by author, mental health expert, and professor David Bedrick as he discusses his revolutionary approach to dismantling shame and reclaiming our authentic selves. With his latest book, The Unshaming Way: A Compassionate Guide to Dismantling Shame, David offers a trauma-informed lens on how shame shapes our behaviors, often lurking in the shadows of emotions like anger and procrastination.David dives deep into the roots of shame, exploring how it forms when we experience trauma but are denied the space or tools to express ourselves. He emphasizes the importance of unshaming—inviting us to see our supposed flaws not as problems to be fixed, but as pathways to our own strength and authenticity. As we explore concepts from his new book, endorsed by Gabor Maté, we discuss practical tools for unlearning self-blame, understanding shame as an internal viewpoint, and living life aligned with our true selves.Whether you've struggled with shame or are simply curious about how it shows up in your life, this episode offers insightful ways to start your own unshaming journey.PRE-ORDER DAVID'S BOOK HERE > The Unshaming Way: A Compassionate Guide to Dismantling Shame--Heal From Trauma, Unlearn Self-Blame, and Reclaim Your Story ⬇️DAMN THE JOIN SHITSHOW - ADULT CHILD HEALING COMMUNITY⬇️https://theshitshow.mn.co4 weekly zoom support groups (Sun 3: 30 pm EST, Mon 8:30 pm EST, Tues 1 pm EST, & Thurs 8:30 pm EST)Support community at your fingertips with discussion boards and chat
