Episode 71
Jane M. Powers talks with me about carrying shame in our lives…
Shame affects the power of everything we do, and you know it's the number one topic that many people avoid because it feels crappy.
Shame disguises itself as anger, blame, sadness, depression, anxiety, everything that's running around. If we're not running around bold and confident speaking our truth confronting what needs to be confronted, stopping the madness, then we're living in chains, and I think it shows up in every way, shape and form.
Here's the thing shame is about a broken inadequate part of ourselves that we would have to admit to.
We learned, “oh shame on you.” Program that in, keep that in your memory bank, that behavior is wrong and then we started to take and pick up the stick ourselves and beat ourselves and go shame on me for having that thought, having that desire.
Remember the saying, “if you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all, watch your words?” I believed this and so I grew up the invisible kid. I could disappear, melt into the woodwork and nobody would notice me missing for hours. Then I started to find that I didn't confront things, “that'll hurt their feelings don't say anything.” Meanwhile I'm feeling like crap.
I believe anything that goes unsaid unexpressed is a form of shame and it builds on the pile of shame.
There are so many resources available to help you take on your shame and I think there's no excuse for you not to step into your power.
