Grace Based Families Podcast
Dec 06, 2023
In this episode, we delve into the depths of toxic shame, a misunderstood and complex emotion. We explore its differences from guilt and embarrassment, drawing from Brene Brown's research, highlighting the connection between shame and detrimental behaviors such as addiction, violence, and depression.
Focusing on the impact of shame on mental health, particularly those struggling with undiagnosed ADHD, we discuss how messages from significant individuals can fuel shame. We emphasize the importance of accepting one's identity and the role of professional counseling and medication in managing ADHD symptoms. The episode concludes with a call to embrace 'neurodivergence', view it as a gift, and create safe spaces for it.
We discuss the power of parental love in disengaging from shame and how modeling vulnerability can help children grow into emotionally intelligent adults.
