I've been a big fan of Brene Brown for Years and have used her definitions around vulnerability in my own life, with my teams, at work, in coaching and in consulting engagements. It's also the exact antithesis of how I was taught and how I taught myself to live my life.
Ever wondered how shame can shape your life and how to break free from its grip? In this episode of 'This Little Light of Mine', James Powell sits down with Matthias Roberts, a therapist, author, and host of 'Queerology'. Matthias opens up about his personal battles with shame, particularly around his identity as a gay Christian in a fundamentalist household. His journey is both eye-opening and deeply relatable for anyone struggling with similar issues.
Matthias discusses the insights from his new book 'Beyond Shame', offering practical advice on how to create a healthy sex life on your own terms. He doesn't just talk the talk; he walks the walk when it comes to vulnerability. His definition of vulnerability as our capacity to be wounded hits home and provides a clear path for those on their healing journey. The conversation also dives into the importance of vulnerability in the healing process.
It's a stark contrast to how many of us are taught to live, often hiding our true selves to avoid pain. Matthias shares three coping mechanisms for managing sexual shame and offers heartfelt advice to his younger self, making this episode a must-listen for anyone dealing with similar struggles. James and Matthias wrap up with a powerful reminder of the importance of conversations and individual human experiences.
Their discussion is not just about overcoming shame but about embracing vulnerability as a strength. If you're looking for a compassionate and insightful conversation that tackles tough topics head-on, this episode is for you.
