“Fear limits creativity; facing it frees up potential.” – Dr. Rob Maldonado
If you want to become a life coach and wonder how you can help others, listen to our recent Soul Sessions podcast episode to explore how our unique Jungian coaching model is the future of coaching.
Understanding Shame
Shame is something that touches everyone. We all want to avoid feeling shame so we create a Persona or Mask to interact with the world and hide our vulnerability.
We need shame
If we did not have a sense of shame, we would do awful things in the world.
Early in life, our parents and teachers used shame to discipline us. Sometimes this continues in adulthood at work with a tyrant boss.
We cannot get rid of it and we don’t want it to run our lives, so we must find a way to deal with it in a conscious way.
Here are some questions to ask yourself to see how the fear of shame is holding you back in life.
Do you avoid taking risks so you don’t look like a fool if things don’t work out?
Do you hide your true feelings because you fear that you won’t be heard or worse mocked?
Do you over please to avoid criticism or anger from others?
Do you create an image of abundance and success but secretly struggle to make ends meet?
In our new Soul Sessions: A Jungian Podcast episode, we explore Understanding Shame and the Shadow where you can learn how shame, often viewed as a negative emotion, actually serves a healthy function in helping us fit in socially and maintain harmony in relationships.
- Breaking Free from Conditioning: Discover how our early childhood experiences shape our perception of shame, leading to self-doubt and fear in adulthood.
- Embracing Your Shadow: Discover the power of shadow work in bringing balance to your life. By acknowledging and accepting the creative mind within, you can overlay the persona of shame.
- Harnessing Creative Mindset: Learn to view emotions as guiding forces for a meaningful human experience, celebrating how they allow us to express our full ranges.
