We are continuing our series on decoding our distress by asking the question: Why do I feel this way?Last week, we began with feelings within the spectrum of fear and doubt. Today, I want to explore the feelings of shame & guilt and how we can respond to them through the lens of the gospel. What is important to note here is the distinction between these two emotions. From a basic definition: guilt addresses one's behavior whereas shame addresses one's self-concept. Brené Brown researcher on shame and best-selling author defines these two experiences by saying: "Guilt says, “I did something bad, while shame says, “I am bad.”" So, the first step to understanding standing these distressing emotional states is by recognizing them as signals of significance - They tell us something about what we have done or not done and what we think of ourselves in relation to our experiences. What are they telling us? And what is it important? That's what we'll unpack today.RESOURCES:Daring Greatly by Brene Brown: https://amzn.to/3edm1ekBeyond Identity by Dick Keyes: https://amzn.to/3Kx6TF1Psychology, Theology, and Spiritually in Christian Counseling by Mark McMinn: https://amzn.to/3Trwh2WWhat Is the Difference Between Guilt and Shame? by Psychology Today: https://bit.ly/3Kyi682FOLLOW T+T on Instagram!https://www.instagram.com/therapyandtheologypodcast/FOLLOW CARLEY:Website: https://www.carleymarcouillier.com/

And we are bigger than the mind.Diane also talks about meditation and other tools that can be helpful. How do we get to a better place to cope with what's going on and arrive at more creative solutions? Even something like walking or cooking can help with the mind-body connection.We hear about a client of Diane's that pivoted - from making jeans to making PPE for health care workers and first responders.You can start with small pivots - maybe even reaching out to folks in your network to get a change in perspective.Resources:Daring Greatly by Brene BrownPsych Assets website: https://www.psychassets.comCall Psych Assets: 248-594-5979The Good Brain Blog: https://www.grimardwilson.com/the-good-brain-blog
It is time to take control of your progress, your future, your success. Here are some questions to help you assess where you are, then you’ll find resources below to get you on track to health and empowerment. Have you ever found yourself with regret? When I feel regret, I always wonder what I was waiting for. Why didn’t I take charge? Why didn’t I take a chance? Was I waiting for permission from someone? Why do we ask for permission? What started this behavior early on? What reinforced it? Social norms? Gender norms? Safe - no risk Provides an excuse - you can play the blame game Examples of permission Food - sometimes we have to give our own selves permission - splurge or value yourself enough to eat things that will allow you to feel good Health - wait for something traumatic to catapult us into life change Work - risk, initiative, tough conversations Relationships - to feel loved or valued, to be worthy of a healthy relationship, back to conversations or growth Is permission necessary for something we feel pushes the boundaries? Are there fears connected with this? What would happen if you made a big decision on your own? What fears are associated with actually making the decision or potential failure Why is that different if someone else gives us permission? Why can’t I give myself permission? Here are a few ways you can begin practicing moving away from the reliance on permission from others: Make a list of your fears and potential negative outcomes - you may find they aren’t as scary once you see them on paper Fail fast and cheap - practice small (maybe don’t quit your job after this episode, but instead make a choice about an activity you want to do that would be refreshing, whether or not anyone else wants to do it with you) - go for that side hustle Get support - surround yourself with people you trust and who can encourage you as you exercise this newfound practice of boldness Start with one thing. Choose a single step to implement, whether it is a positive prayer or mantra, research, a meeting, an interview, a small trip to a new place. I don’t know what that is for you, but as you’ve listened to ways we all wait for permission I believe you know exactly that thing you are supposed to go out and do. Stop waiting and go do it.

In this episode Katie shares her story of overcoming the death of her mother, as well as living in one of the most isolated areas of the United States. This high-energy mom will inspire you with her stories of raising 4 boys and staying connected with other women. Katie Dilse is feisty and spontaneous and loves to laugh. She is a business owner, wife of nearly 20 years, mother of four boys, farmer, and Big Rig driver. Katie inspires audiences around the nation with her heart-to-heart presentations focused on making the most of balancing the demands of work, the tugs on personal life, and community obligations. Katie was listed as one of the Top 40 under 40 business leaders in the Midwest. Katie lives in North Dakota with her husband Stewart and 4 boys. Nuggets of Wisdom from Katie: "I am good enough because I am the daughter of a King." "I learned to learn on my brothers and sisters and that we are each other, we are there for each other and that God will not abandon us. We felt abandoned that God took mom but that is not all that it was - God actually replaced her love through a deeper love for us to be united to Him. And realize that mom was a blessing to us on earth but there is so much that she can do from heaven for all of us." "I very much struggle with loneliness because my fuel tank requires people. A new stimulation and interaction. And when you live where I do, you have to learn to seek that. So, once I became self aware enough to recognize that my heart needs to be filled with people and filled with interaction and I need new stimulation, I found ways to fuel that without feeling like I am a bad person because I required that. I struggled for that for a long time where now, it is like, 'No way, that is what juices me!'" "I do things that just randomly stay connected with people often... And that is fueling me but I get to fuel their hearts too." "That is how the ball rolls, that is really how I have learned to grow and improve by having enough self awareness inside." "Whether you are in a small town like me or a big city, make sure your middle circle ties into what is the most important to you in your life. Whether that is the relationship with your family or maybe it is that relationship with you and your God and how much you love Him and if that can be in the circle in the middle, and all the other circles are coming together, that is what makes a happy, vibrant, beautiful woman. " Some of Katie's Favorite Things: Personal habit: "I need to exercise every morning. It is super important for my mental game to get up and get moving. My other favorite personal habit is my nightly prayer. I need rest, I need my ritual of quiet time." Easy meal: "I love noodles and marinara sauce." Possession: Pampered Chef chopper. Katie's Favorite Books: Daring Greatly by Brene Brown Best advice received: "Those 20 minutes before the kids get home on the bus, I want you to make sure that you take time to sit down and really adjust your mind into becoming a mom. So that when they come home, I can just completely embrace them instead of being halfway into supper or into something I am doing... into the computer or switching laundry. I try to be there. I try to be right at the front entrance, greeting them with a hug and really sitting down to visit with them, to hear what has happened with their day." Katie's Happiness Formula: "I am happiest when I allow others into my heart, and I surround myself with good people, and I listen to God." A Challenge from Katie: "I would love if all of you took a little bit of time to make eye contact with a stranger, and make that stranger's day with your smile or with just one little compliment that you can give them. Because it will really, really make them feel loved. And if we feel more loved, when we live love and when we live with the conviction that we are a daughter of a King, we will live so happy, so vibrant and so full of zest."
