Shame is the most stressful human emotion... If shame is a freeze response and if shame shuts down the frontal cortex, the last thing that somebody is going to be able to articulate is the shame they’re experiencing when they’re in it.

In this eye-opening episode of 'The Real Common Treatable Podcast,' Clint Mally sits down with recovery coach Dr. Bob Weathers to unravel these heavy emotions.
