Freedom from Shame | 218

A Counterintuitive Solution

You think if you are extra hard on yourself

it will motivate you to do better.

But the opposite is true:

The more you make yourself feel bad,

the more you unconsciously do things to justify bad feelings.

Shame kills your mojo more than anything else.

Shame kills performance.

It disconnects from your instincts and your “soul.”

This episode is on freeing yourself from shame considering:

  1. Evolutionary basis of this social emotion.

  2. Why it backfires on you. (“Emotional logic” fallacy.)

  3. A simple but profound solution from the “father of modern therapy,” Dr. Carl Rogers.
