Guilt vs. Shame: How These Emotions Shape Our Lives

Many Years Later I began studying shame and guilt. When people feel guilt, they feel a sense of tension and remorse and regret about what they did... everything that the research that we have kind of shows that once shame is in the picture it kind of dominates.
Ever wondered why guilt sometimes pushes you to make amends while shame can leave you feeling stuck? This episode of 'All In The Mind' dives deep into these two powerful emotions. Host Lynne Malcolm chats with Professor June Tangney, an expert in the field, to unravel the complexities of guilt and shame. They explore how these feelings differ and the unique ways they influence our actions and decisions.
Guilt, it turns out, can sometimes be a surprising catalyst for positive change, while shame often has a more paralyzing effect. Professor Tangney shares her groundbreaking research on how these emotions can be measured and what that means for our understanding of human behavior. Whether you're looking to understand your own feelings better or curious about the psychological forces at play, this episode offers valuable insights that are both thought-provoking and practical.
Tune in to learn how recognizing the differences between guilt and shame can lead to healthier emotional responses and better decision-making.
