Toxic shame is a heavy topic and I warn you, this video can be very overwhelming for some of you. But, at the same time, shame in complex trauma is also very poorly understood. This is why today I'd like to reveal how it feels like, where it comes from, how it influences every aspect of your life and ideas, how to manage toxic shame. ► Links and Resources: Cycle of toxic shame Episode: https://youtu.be/9XpiOkHSpjI?si=CSp0qZ585hLo8EpE ► Subscribe On Your Favorite Platform!

Episode 144   In this episode, I share a deeply personal story about the painful moment when I realized that having faith and spiritual practices alone couldn't save me from the dysfunctional patterns in my life. I discuss the inadvertent impact of unconscious complex trauma, the harm of spiritual abuse, and the significance of human integration in the healing journey. This reflection highlights the importance of seeking broader resources beyond faith practices in the journey toward wholeness in healing. This may include developing insight on psychological and family dynamics. I hope this sharing makes you feel less alone and provides hope on your path to becoming more integrated and whole.In the previous episode, I introduced an invaluable workshop presented by Paul Fahey, focusing on recognising, preventing, and responding to spiritual abuse in the Catholic context.

Or do you feel the need to pretend, to play a role and act very differently than normal? This behavior could be a result of toxic shame, that may hold back your true authentic self and chains you to an exhausting role-play you have to perform on a daily basis. Especially insecurely attached people and CPTSD survivors are often affected by toxic shame. But, they are often not aware, that they behave out of a shame-bound self and identity. This is why, in today's episode, we will explore and understand what toxic shame actually is. I will share 5 typical signs of toxic shame with you. And in the end, I will give you a 3-step solution plan on how you can finally break that cycle of toxic shame and start healing your wounds. ► Links and Resources: Download the Free Workbook full of Re-Regulation Resources & Writing techniques: https://understandable.net/book/ (Ad) John Bradshaw - Healing The Shame That Binds You: https://amzn.to/3TwcCQU (ad) Tim Fletcher: https://www.youtube.com/@TimFletcher Heidie Priebe: https://www.youtube.com/@heidipriebe1 Toxic Shame Persona by Tim Fletcher: https://youtu.be/IOQTfqUdypc?si=OGEV5odgbyj0G-KT Re-Regulation Tools Episode: https://youtu.be/i05BWtgjYRw?si=miV_L3NIbbTqXHsU Dissociation Episode: https://youtu.be/UZsTUS_jlYg?si=b1RNIGTpEuCQlrJf Limerence Episode: https://youtu.be/LZ-IFevq90o?si=tFtBoRjvXRPBAhRl Codependency Episode: https://youtu.be/OSeR88YWwhU?si=vljpHGm7mCtcN6Xj ► Subscribe On Your Favorite Platform!

Contact Bryan Barley for coaching at bryan@vothcenter.com.    Episode Highlights:    “Confusion about Toxic Shame and Guilt”   Codependency is not your fault, but it is your responsibility to deal with. Even though we have been “taught” to rid ourselves of how God made us, it does not give us permission or the right to stay there. It is a sickness that we have, and we have the responsibility to find the healing.   Codependency is the loss of how God made us, with self-awareness, self-trust, self-care, being sensitive to our own true feelings, loss of learning how to respond to our feelings in a healthy way; it is the loss of self-worth—given over to the needs of significant others who are uncomfortable with themselves, or self-rejecting.    Codependency recovery is not selfishness; it is “Self-fullness.” Self-fullness is having enough of who God created us to be that we have the ability to give our gifts to a world in need.   The need to belong and matter is so powerful that we are going to find a way to get those needs met—through suppression or expression.   Expression has to be grown and matured, so codependency recovery does take time and investment.   Each of the symptoms that we have discussed in this podcast is from the work of Timmen Cermak, in his book Diagnosing and Treating Codependency. The descriptions and following work are from my own experiences.   Codependency is pervasive, a pandemic, and all the relief-seeking addictions we can name have their origin and influence in codependency.   Symptom #12  Confusion About Toxic Shame and Guilt Toxic shame is grounded in never being able to do anything “right enough,” or be right enough to be loved, or have the “right” to receive mercy.   In toxic shame the confusion between shame and guilt is birthed in the mistaken belief that I should be able to not mess up; not make mistakes; should not have to need mercy; should be able to be perfect. It is the belief that only perfect people can be loved. If I am not perfect, I am “worth-less” and cannot be loved.   Click here to continue reading the episode highlights.

It reduces our capacity to be productive and prosperous. Disease has a characteristic chain of symptoms with known or unknown origins. A disease is chronic, with acute episodes, progressive and often fatal.   We are as sick as the feelings we will not let ourselves have.   Symptom # 9 Hypervigilance Hypervigilance is the fear of giving up anxiety that keeps me “on my toes” as a safety mechanism; bad things will happen if I'm not on my toes.   Hypervigilance is being controlled by anxiety. Anxiety is always seeking relief from the hypervigilance. Anxiety becomes the expectation of an external threat doing something to put me in a position of helplessness.   Anxiety is in us to tell us to be ready to take a defensive action, a reaction: fight…get ready flee…get ready freeze…get ready appease…get ready   Anxiety in its negative form is saying “watch outside right now because something is coming that is going to harm you.”  Anxiety is an external locus of anticipation and control.   The anxiety in hypervigilance is about avoiding the confession of being afraid and in need. The anxiety goes in search of the external threat; it looks for danger. This anxiety will not be quelled until it finds the thing that it needs to control in order to find relief.   We are made to live fully in relationship and connection. When we become disconnected from how we are made, because we are made for connection and to live fully in relationship, that has always been there. If I can't find a way to be connected the way I am created to connect, I will have to find another way to be connected, one way or another.    Toxic shame tells you that if you're not doing what others expect you to do (and your discomfort will confirm this), then you will be humiliated and rejected. Toxic Shame says: You better get your role together. You better watch the rules. You better read from your script.   Click here to continue reading the episode highlights.

A lot of us like to point the finger and say that everybody else is the problem, but we very rarely talk about when we're toxic and when we're the villain in someone else's story. So how can we better paint the whole picture, have those uncomfortable conversations, and show up in a way that does not hurt the ones we love? Tune in as Alechia and Dani share their own less than favorable traits and how to work through villain to victim to powerhouse who shows up in the world with truly good intentions.    Watch the conversation on YouTube: https://youtu.be/UHzdNkYXjqg?si=raAU_yt0Ebnp1vbz      SPONSORED BY: 7 Agents of Change Pack, visit to learn more: http://triggeredafevents.com    KEY POINTS & QUOTES: - Nobody wants to be the villain - so where are they?   - What are your toxic traits?   - How to exercise the apology muscle   - When did we forget grace and compassion?   - The value of remembering when you were the villain   - Choosing the right thing, even when it's uncomfortable    - Who do you want to be? How do you want to show up?   QUOTABLES: “Victims sometimes forget when they were the villain.”   “Understand to every action there's an equal and opposite reaction. Whether you're being a villain or not a villain, you're being a safe place or an unsafe place, it goes back to the decisions that you make about how do you want to feel? And then how do you want others to feel when you walk out of a room?”     CONNECT WITH YOUR HOSTS: Alechia Reese For coaching, visit: http://gotvaluenation.com Instagram | http://instagram.com/alechiareese LinkedIn | linkedin.com/in/alechiareese Dani Bourdeau For coaching, visit: http://danifostercoaching.com Instagram | http://instagram.com/thedanibourdeau PRODUCTS / RESOURCES: For more info, visit their website: www.triggeredafpodcast.com Like what you're hearing?

We're back! Laura and Bee reintroduce themselves on the podcast and get you caught up on their busy summer schedules. We're back from an unplanned break from the podcast as we put our household roles in order.  Today we are diving into information found in the book Soul Care by Dr. Rob Reimer. Laura has taken the leap into this book and is finding so much value in this book that aligns with the healing methods of change that Splankna offers. If you want to dive in and read this book with us, you can find the link to order your copy HERE. (We are amazon affiliates, so if you order through this link you'll be blessing us in a small way as you enjoy the tools we recommend.) Have you ever thought of yourself as having complex or toxic shame? An internal refusal to believe the truth that God speaks over you and your identity in Christ. Bee unpacks a story on the show about making the cheerleading team in high school and how that was a moment that led to lowering herself down to lift others up. But what Laura and Bee both have never considered is that this committment to the enemy's lies could really be a pride problem.  As you listen to this episode, you may feel compelled to listen to our last episode about spiritual abuse with the founder of The Splankna Institute, Sarah Thiessen. You may find that the voice of the enemy that has broadcast into your shame cycle is someone close to you who may be using scripture or their authoritative role in your life inappropriately. To listen to the last episode, CLICK HERE   Thank you for listening to The Energy to Heal Podcast where you're learning about Splankna, a method for inner-healing and freedom from emotional blocks. We encourage you to reach out and ask questions about Splankna and the work that each of us do.

On this Erasing Shame conversation, Rev. Dr. Ken Fong explains the difference between toxic shame and healthy shame—how they're two different things. Toxic shame carries the message that there's something inherently wrong with oneself, leading individuals to either blame others or internalize the feeling and become worthless. Healthy shame, on the other hand, acknowledges mistakes and wrongdoings, allowing for growth and the reception of grace. He also shares insights into the cultural significance of shame in the Asian American community and the importance of authenticity and healthy connections in a chaotic world. • Asian America: The Ken Fong Podcast asianamericapodcast.com • Show Notes at erasingshame.com

Have you been dealing with toxic shame and feel like you are less than God designed? Do you have close people in your life who continue to toxically shame you? Are you toxically shaming yourself? We need to get a hold of unhealthy and toxic shame and instead behold The One who made us, Jesus Christ. This world has so much toxicity and polarity that it can be hard to field through where we end and toxicity begins. Jesus is the author of Truth and Life and He designed us to live in freedom. We need to get set free from toxic shame around us and be reminded of who we are to live in Christ's Kingdom as a daughter or son.Try Magic Mind for free here (make sure to cancel to not get charged after 1 month): https://magicmind.com/STRONGTOWERTRIALWith my code STRONGTOWERTRIAL There is a limited offer you can use now, that gets you up to 48% off your first subscription or 20% off one time purchases with code STRONGTOWER at checkout.

It's time to untangle our past shame from our perfectly imperfect current selves. Shame is a complex and challenging emotion, often arising when we feel we don't meet others' standards and fear rejection. Our host, Dr. Angela Downey, guides us through the intricacies of shame, providing numerous examples of what it can look and feel like. She also brings in emotional heavyweights like John Bradshaw and Brené Brown to reassure us that we do NOT have to hold on to these feelings. It's okay, and even necessary, to let them go.❤️ Are you codependent?

We hear the word shame and believe that it's bad right? When we feel it we want that feeling gone, no matter how we can get it to leave. Is shame always bad? Is there such thing as healthy shame? We usually use church words such as condemnation or conviction. God can use neuroscience to help us understand relationships, connection and joy. In this episode, I will take from different sources, including the Bible, the book The Other Half of Church, Brené Brown and my personal experiences. When we ignore pain, we don't allow real transformation to happen within our souls. This episode discusses the power of healthy shame being necessary for us to be transformed more like Jesus.“Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God's will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will.” ~Romans 12:2 There is a limited offer you can use now, that gets you up to 48% off your first subscription or 20% off one time purchases with code STRONGTOWER at checkout.

Let's get started! ------------------------- Breaking Free from Toxic Shame: Reclaim Your Self-Worth Have you ever felt paralyzed by a deep sense of shame that seems to pervade every aspect of your life? It's a feeling many professionals struggle with, impacting their relationships, careers, and overall well-being. In today's episode of Shrink for the Shy Guy, Dr. Aziz dives into the pervasive issue of toxic shame, offering profound insights and actionable steps to help you break free from its grip. Understanding Toxic Shame "Toxic shame is the feeling of badness that permeates your existence," Dr. Aziz explains. Unlike situational shame, which arises from specific events, toxic shame is a constant sense of being flawed or unworthy. This feeling often stems from early childhood experiences where negative messages from parents or caregivers were internalized. "It's like poison to a young nervous system," says Dr. Aziz, highlighting the profound impact of these early interactions. The Cycle of Self-Perpetuated Shame Many people continue to carry these negative perceptions into adulthood, often without realizing it. "You are shaming you," Dr. Aziz emphasizes. This internalized voice of disapproval can make you feel perpetually inadequate. However, the good news is that this cycle can be broken. "Toxic shame is not permanent," reassures Dr. Aziz. Recognizing that you are the one perpetuating these feelings is the first step toward liberation. Steps to Overcome Toxic Shame **1. Acknowledge the Source: Understanding that your feelings of shame are not an inherent part of you, but rather learned behaviors, is crucial. "These messages were not about you; they were about the people who projected them," says Dr. Aziz. **2. Challenge the Internalized Voice: Begin by questioning the truth of these negative perceptions. Dr. Aziz advises, "Why are you continuing to hold that perspective? Why are you advocating for your own awfulness?" Shifting your internal dialogue from one of criticism to one of compassion can be transformative. **3. Consciously Reframe Your Self-Perception: Imagine how you would talk to someone you love, especially a child. "What are the top three messages you would want to convey to them?" Dr. Aziz asks. Use these positive affirmations to start reshaping how you talk to yourself. Embracing a New Reality The journey to overcoming toxic shame involves consciously choosing to see yourself differently. "It's like learning a new language," Dr. Aziz explains. It might feel foreign at first, but with practice, it becomes second nature. The key is to step into your life without the armoring of shame, allowing yourself to connect deeply with others and live more fully.

As usual one of the crew found another rabbit hole and took to reading Healing the Shame That Binds You by John Bradshaw Join the Crew in what becomes a very vulnerable discussion about shame and how it can affect us in all aspects of our lives, including spirituality. Shame in and of itself is a vital emotion in navigating the human experience. Think of it as a moral compass.  Toxic Shame (the shame projected on us by others), however, is extremely undermining to our sense of self.  The more shame you accrue the more the authentic self shrinks and the false self you create to cope, takes over. The Crew discusses why spiritually awakened individuals might be a little more sensitive to shame and the impact the false self can have on your growth and healing journey. Listen to find out how the false self would present itself and the paradoxical nature of neurotic shame. Bradshaw says in his book “True love heals. It affects spiritual growth. If we don't grow because of someone's love, it's generally because its a counterfeit form of love.” WOW! Now that's a yardstick to measure your relationship by! Lots to reveal, unpack, and absorb.

As a human, you have most likely felt shame to some degree. Although it is a normal human protective emotion to keep us safe on a societal level, shame can become toxic when it persists and when we internalize the critical narrative from that shame. Toxic shame shows up in many ways, however, the way it shows up physiologically is understood the least, but the most telling. From posture, dilated pupils, tense muscles, to inflammation in the body, headaches, and diseases, it is possible to visibly see shame on a person's body. This is a result of the body protecting itself, and there is no shame in that. However once it becomes maladaptive, and absolute “I am” statements start becoming permanent fixtures in rumination, one's perception of self shifts, which can eventually cause serious mental and physical health issues. On today's episode, Elisabeth and Jennifer discuss how toxic shame differs from regular shame, how toxic shame shows up, what happens in the body when it does, where toxic shame originates from, how shame and pleasure shows up in those with a history of childhood sexual abuse, and what you can do to recognize and repattern toxic shame with Neuro-Somatic Coaching. Just as toxic shame is developed, it can be undeveloped, by learning how to recognize when and how it shows up in the body, then repatterning the neural pathways in real time using NSI tools, and allowing repressed emotions to mobilize. This episode is filled with knowledge and insight you don't want to miss. Tune in for this and more! Topics discussed in this episode:   The difference between guilt and shame Difference between regular shame and toxic shame How toxic shame affects posture How shame is a protective response What is shame inflammation and its correlation to disease states? Why mobilizing the body is crucial to process emotions What is emotional attunement? Overcoupling of shame and pleasure in the case of childhood sexual abuse The types of body boundary violations What to do if you are having a toxic shame response?

This week on the podcast, I recap the previous episodes on shame by exploring the difference between the truth of shame as an experience of our limits and needs with toxic shame which seeks to condemn our needs and limits. By asking 3 reflective questions, we discover the sources, scripts, and symptoms that toxic shame holds. Pulling from Dr. Chip Todd's work on shame from his book The Voice of the Heart, we return to the embodiment of sec-acceptance and how healthy shame leads us to living within appropriate authority, claiming our God-given identity, and experiencing victory emotionally and spiritually.  Resources:  Voice of the Heart by Dr. Chip Dodd Soul of Shame by Curt Thompson  She Speaks Fire by Mariela Rosario Discover more Christian podcasts at lifeaudio.com and inquire about advertising opportunities at lifeaudio.com/contact-us.

Hi Everyone! Welcome back to another episode of the M.E.O.W. Podcast! In today's episode, we dive deep into toxic shame, the causes, and the consequences of growing up in environments where our identity was neglected, ridiculed, or put down. Shame-based thinking is derived from feelings that make you believe something is wrong with you. It's the belief that being exactly who you are is not enough to be accepted, celebrated, and loved. Shame is something that we learn from other people. It is not who we are. We learn from our families, peers, and environments that if we make a mistake, we must be a mistake. This toxic-rigid way of thinking hurts children who grow up to perpetuate the shame-based system. The goal is to move towards a guilt-based mindset that promotes growth and keeps the promise of love after we've made a mistake. I made a mistake; this is an opportunity to grow, learn from, and move forward. Letting go of shame allows us to become validated people who understand that we are inherently worthy of love and acceptance for being exactly who we are.

Have you ever wondered why we keep producing 'bad fruit' in our lives? What if the key to addressing these issues is not just to pluck them away, but to trace them back to their roots?

Together, we'll learn how to identify the bad fruit in our lives and lean on Jesus for healing and transformation. Echoing Brother Lawrence's wisdom in 'Practicing the Presence of God', we'll learn to trust Jesus, embrace our shortcomings, and seek His help to change.

Toxic shame tells us we're not good enough. When we listen to our toxic shame, we get stuck in the blame game, and we don't grow. Blaming others feels powerful. But blaming doesn't get us where we want to be. How do we move from blaming to forgiving? Our guest is Dr. Chip Dodd an author, speaker, and counselor. He holds a Ph.D. in Counseling.

Shame is to the soul what cancer is to the body. It eats away at our self-esteem, erodes our relationships, and keeps us from moving forward in life. In fact, toxic shame is often what drives addictions, anxieties, and depression. But the good news is that freedom is possible. And that's what we're exploring today with author Dr. Gregory Jantz. He'll weave together reliable psychological principles with biblical truths to start you on the path of wellness and peace. So, if you're weighed down by shame or have begun to believe the lies that you're defective, unworthy, and flawed, then my friend, it's time to break free! SHOW NOTES: 413Podcast.com/255

Faith. It's a loaded and troubling word for many people, but having faith in your true self is a wonderful thing to uncover on anyone's alcohol-free journey. This week we have the most amazing heartfelt story to share with you. Michael Leeser is a 'This Naked Mind' coach and academic whose passion lies in pointing people to the beauty of who they really are. This is an incredible conversation!

In today's episode we talk about shame. Shame can be one of the most difficult feelings we can experience as it goes to the core of our notion of self. Talking about something that we experience as shameful makes us feel intensely vulnerable and exposed. We can experience shame as an attack on our core self.  We distinguish between healthy feelings of shame and unhealthy, chronic and toxic shame which is often the underlying emotion of a wide range of disturbing experiences: low self-worth, anxiety, depression, isolation, addiction, self-harm, issues with uncontrollable anger and many more.Shame has a prosocial function; it is important for facilitating social bonds and norms and enables us to notice when we have  transgressed a social norm,  have made a  mistake or have crossed a boundary. We can make amends and our feeling of shame will dissipate very soon. Milder versions of shame are feeling embarrassed or guilty. With guilt we are more likely to focus on our wrong behaviour which is different from a stronger version of shame where we focus on our self as being flawed. With chronic shame we feel bad about who we are, rather than what we did. Chronic shame can get us into a cycle of shame where we an association evokes a previous experience of shame, which activates negative thoughts and feelings. This then get our defenses going (e.g. avoiding or attacking) and will lead to inappropriate  behaviour such as self harming, drinking or isolating for too long. These behaviour in turn will make us feel more shame and the cycle starts anew. Chronic, toxic shame can develop in response to painful childhood experiences, for example always being negatively compared to a sibling, being bullied at home or school, guarding a family secret like alcoholism, being poor or being constantly being disproved of.In the podcast we talk about what you can do to develop more shame resilience, getting less triggered or not at all triggered by earlier associations that evoke shame. In order to manage shame more effectively, it will need to be recognised and understood first. The Relationship Maze courses:What is your argument style? Find out in our short quiz.
