Toxic shame is the core belief that 'I am bad. I am unworthy. I need to hide my authentic self from the world in order to be loved and accepted' and a hallmark symptom of the Adult Child Trauma Syndrome.
Feeling unworthy or like you need to hide your true self? You're not alone. In this episode of 'Adult Child', Andrea teams up with psychotherapist Robyn Gobbel to dive deep into the murky waters of toxic shame. With over 15 years of experience in family and child therapy, Robyn specializes in complex trauma, attachment, and adoption, making her a treasure trove of knowledge on the subject.
Together, they break down how toxic shame takes root in childhood and how it intertwines with insecure and disorganized attachment styles. Robyn explains the neuroscience behind these feelings, offering a fresh perspective on why we might carry these burdens into adulthood. The episode doesn't just stop at theory; it provides practical insights on identifying toxic shame in children and how memory reconsolidation can aid in healing.
Andrea and Robyn's conversation is filled with personal reflections and stories that bring these concepts to life. If you're looking to understand the deep-seated beliefs that might be holding you back, this episode is a must-listen.
