When left unaddressed, feelings of shame can erode self-esteem, hamper healthy sexuality, and lead to addiction. True freedom comes when we learn how to release the immense burden of silent inner shame. Join Dr. Carla and shame expert Dr. Tina Schermer Sellers for a surprising and fascinating exploration...

I wrap up this episode with some space to grieve what has been lost to purity culture and look forward to more healing in the days to come. I used several resources in writing...
