Understanding and Overcoming Shame with Dr. Anna Baranowsky

Shame is a feeling that because I did or thought something, I am fundamentally flawed in some way. And this is where I want to actually challenge everybody that if you get a really strong shame feeling, I want you to be open to the fact that this is something that is part of a infrastructure, that is an old infrastructure, and not necessarily something that is true.
Ever felt that gnawing sense of not being good enough? You're not alone. In this episode of the Bear Psychology Podcast, Dr. Anna Baranowsky tackles the heavy yet universal emotion of shame. Drawing from her vast experience with trauma survivors, she unpacks why we feel shame and how it can shape our lives. But it's not all doom and gloom. Dr. Baranowsky believes that acknowledging and understanding shame can actually pave the way for personal growth and transformation.
She shares practical advice on how to confront these feelings head-on, emphasizing the importance of honesty with oneself and embracing one's past without letting it dictate the future. This episode is a deep dive into the roots of shame, featuring insights from experts like Joseph Burgo, who categorizes different types of shame, and Shontelle Prokipcak, who explains how these feelings develop over a lifetime. Whether you're grappling with shame yourself or simply curious about this pervasive emotion, Dr.
Baranowsky's compassionate and insightful discussion offers valuable tools for healing and moving forward.
