The Hidden Weight: Dr. Gerald Fishkin on Shame and Recovery

My book identifies where shame lives in our brain, and it's to also show the effect of treatments to eradicate toxic shame and create a healthy adult sense of self.
Ever wondered why some emotional wounds seem impossible to heal? In this episode of Steppin' Out Radio, Dr. Gerald Fishkin unpacks the complex world of toxic shame and its deep ties to addiction and recovery. With a Ph.D. in clinical psychology and decades of experience, Dr. Fishkin brings a wealth of knowledge to the table. He explains how childhood trauma often plants the seeds of toxic shame, which can then fuel addictive behaviors.
But it's not all doom and gloom; Dr. Fishkin also shares how compassion-based therapy can be a game-changer in breaking these destructive cycles. You'll learn why affirmations alone don't cut it and why it's crucial to address the emotional roots of shame. If you've ever felt trapped by your past or are looking for new ways to support someone in recovery, this episode offers valuable insights and practical advice.
Tune in for a conversation that could change the way you think about shame and healing.
