Healing and Working through Shame - With Dr. Zoe Shaw

This week, Dr. Tracy is sitting down with Dr. Zoe Shaw, a licensed psychotherapist, motivational speaker, life coach, and podcast host. Her extensive experience spans over two decades, during which she's been dedicated to helping women navigate challenging relationships and discover their inner strength. Dr. Shaw opens up the conversation by candidly sharing her own complex journey with shame, tracing it back to her teenage years, when she grappled with a secret pregnancy at the age of 15. She explores the various ways shame can manifest itself, emphasizing the profound difference between guilt and shame and how these emotions manifest in individuals, leading to externalizing or internalizing behaviours. Lastly, the two address the impact of shame on relationships and offer valuable insights into healing and self-acceptance.  Today’s Topics include:  Shame spirals and how to identify if you’re experiencing them  Understanding the difference between guilt and shame  Characteristics of shame externalizers and shame internalizers  How to get to a place of healing in your relationship if you suffer from complex shame  The benefits that deep individual self-work can have on our relationships  Recognizing the energy exchange within a relationship and practicing interdependence instead of co-dependency  Why vulnerability is key to the healing journey if you suffer from complex shame    You can find Dr. Shaw on Instagram on her website, and listen to her podcast!  You can now order my new book “I Didn’t Sign Up for This” here!  Looking for more?
