Guilt is an interesting thing psychologically speaking, because it's one of those psychological things. That's its function in our society, and because of that, our society at large, that's its function, and so it's very heroic in that sense. And I think getting rid of guilt does make you feel it's an incredible relief.
Guilt is a heavy emotion that can weigh us down, but it doesn't have to control our lives. In this episode of the Mental Illness Happy Hour, clinical psychologist Dr. Guy Winch offers a fresh perspective on dealing with guilt. Dr. Winch explains that while guilt can serve a useful purpose in society by keeping us accountable, it can also become a burden if not managed properly.
He delves into how guilt affects our decision-making and behavior, emphasizing the importance of accepting responsibility to achieve genuine forgiveness and self-forgiveness. Through listener surveys and practical tips, Dr. Winch guides us on finding the right balance in our emotions, making it easier to move forward without the weight of unnecessary guilt. This episode is a must-listen for anyone struggling with feelings of guilt and seeking practical advice on how to cope.
