The shaming dragon, the shouldn't shaming dragon, I think, ruled my life up until I decided to actually get help for the wounded dragon, because as long as I was hiding from all of those things, those wounds, I didn't want to deal with those wounds.
Ever felt like guilt and shame have a mind of their own? On this episode of The Brain Warrior's Way Podcast, Dr. Daniel Amen and Tana Amen dive into the concept of the Should & Shaming Dragon from Dr. Amen’s book, 'Your Brain is Always Listening'. This dragon, born from past humiliations or shame-filled environments, can rear its head when we face disapproval from those we value. It often leads to feelings of guilt, distress, and even self-harming behaviors.
But there's a silver lining—this dragon also brings discernment and a sense of morality. The Amens discuss practical strategies to tame this dragon, like shifting 'I should' to 'I want to' or 'this aligns with my goals'. They also emphasize the importance of confronting guilt and shame head-on to strip them of their power. Tune in to learn how to manage these powerful emotions and take control of your mental health.
