I think it helps to start by just defining shame the way we've talked about the two faces of shame... if we don't have relationships in which to really build a foundation of healing, then shame really won't be healed, because it is very tied into the interpersonal domain.
Can love really conquer shame? Dr. Bob and Odi certainly think so. In this episode of 'Ask an Addiction Specialist', they tackle the tricky subject of shame and how it can be transformed through what they call a 'corrective emotional experience'. Dr. Bob kicks things off by breaking down the concept of shame, revealing its two distinct faces. He emphasizes the pivotal role that interpersonal relationships play in the healing process.
It's not just about understanding shame; it's about nurturing the heart and daring to risk intimacy. The duo also dives into the latest neuroscience research on psychotherapy, shedding light on how our brains can change and heal through therapeutic interventions. They discuss how unshaming interactions and the power of compassion can help transform our sense of self. Dr. Bob explains the fascinating connection between neurons and psychotherapy, underscoring the importance of learning and growth.
To wrap things up, they offer a practical homework assignment: rehearse a positive memory to help it take root and grow. This episode is a heartfelt guide for anyone looking to overcome shame and build healthier, more compassionate relationships.
