Knowing things is always done in the service of being known.
Ever wondered how shame shapes your relationships? In this episode of 'Flip Your Lid', Kim Honeycutt sits down with psychiatrist Curt Thompson to unpack the intricate dance between neuroscience and Christianity. Curt brings a fresh perspective, blending his deep compassion and Christian worldview with the science of interpersonal neurobiology (IPNB). Together, they explore how our brains process relationships and why feeling known and valued is crucial for a fulfilling life.
Curt shares practical advice on building authentic connections, emphasizing the importance of telling our stories truthfully. He explains that shame, unlike guilt, is experienced at a very young age and is closely tied to our attachment styles. These attachment styles are influenced by our parents' responses to our temperament, shaping how we regulate emotions throughout our lives. Kim and Curt delve into the power of confessional communities—spaces where vulnerability is not just welcomed but essential.
They discuss how these communities help us co-regulate our emotions, fostering a sense of belonging and support. By understanding the role of shame and learning to cultivate genuine relationships, we can move toward a more purposeful and emotionally healthy life. With a mix of warmth and humor, Curt's insights offer a unique blend of scientific knowledge and spiritual wisdom.
Whether you're grappling with feelings of shame or seeking deeper connections, this episode provides valuable tools for personal growth and emotional resilience.
