Shame guilt is the cornerstone of addiction, and you obviously know that... Shame makes more guilt. Guilt makes more shame. So to separate them makes our mind separated. Shame guilt rides on the unconscious and conscious minds. Shame guilt is not ours to own or to give.
Why do shame and guilt often feel like insurmountable barriers on the road to recovery?

Whether you're dealing with addiction yourself or supporting someone who is, Lois' insights offer a fresh perspective on how to navigate these challenging emotions. Tune in for a conversation that's both eye-opening and empowering, providing you with the tools to transform shame and guilt into stepping stones on your path to recovery.
