Description

Today JD & Col take a tender look at Shame, in our longest episode yet.

Oh Shame, our old, uninvited friend, let’s get into it.

They talk about shame and social media, obsessive self-shame, the paradox of escaping the shame of addictions by burrowing deeper into those exact same addictions, and how nasty it gets when shame is inflicted on others, and a lot more.

They share the hope they find in Mia Mangus’ Transformative Justice accountability framework.

They also mention Dr Gabor Mate’s “Universal Experience of Addiction”.

JD recommends the Kate Bornstein’s amazing Hello, Cruel World: 101 Alternatives to Suicide for Teens, Freaks, and Other Outlaws

Col mentions, semi-accurately The New Leaf Project, a one-time cash payment of $7,500 to folks experiencing recent homelessness in Vancouver.

As always they refer to this beautiful list of 300 emotions by Prakhar Verma - Expand Your Emotional Vocabulary With This Dictionary Of Emotions
