"Either you understand how shame operates in your life, or it operates your life." - Brene Brown

Is the experience of shame a choice? Can shame be disempowered when we choose not to be trapped, powerless and isolated? In a continuation of our last episode where we outlined shame, we introduce Shame Resilience: a practice with tools to engage feelings of empathy, connection, power, and freedom. We also discuss the gender divide in how shame and resilience is explored differently between men and women.

IN THIS EPISODE YOU'LL FIND MORE ABOUT:

• The elements of Shame Resilience
• Practical, self-supporting ways to disengage shame
• Specific resilience tools for men
• The cost of being out of shame
• Why "it's hard" is not a valid excuse
• The importance of examining our unconscious and conscious relationships with shame
• How identifying specific thoughts, feelings, emotions and belief systems are essential to shame resilience
• Moderating resilience through planning and practice
• Creating safe connections with others
