Jemma: 本期节目探讨了羞耻感对个人生活的影响,以及如何克服羞耻感。羞耻感是一种普遍存在的情感,它源于对不被接纳和孤立的恐惧,以及对自身缺陷的过度关注。羞耻感与创伤经历密切相关,尤其是在童年时期遭受的创伤或羞辱,会让人将羞耻感内化,并影响到成年后的生活。羞耻感与罪恶感不同,罪恶感与特定行为相关,而羞耻感则是一种更深层次的情感,它让人质疑自身的价值。羞耻感会导致一系列不健康的行为,例如自我隔离、社交焦虑、自我破坏和讨好型人格。为了克服羞耻感,我们需要将笼统的羞耻感具体化,并追溯其根源。通过反思过去的创伤经历,并用同理心、善良和同情来对待自己,我们可以逐渐放下羞耻感,并接纳真实的自我。同时,我们要认识到羞耻感并非事实,而是感觉。我们应该选择爱自己,并勇敢地展现真实的自我,即使这可能会带来失败或尴尬。最终,克服羞耻感能够让我们获得自信、自由和幸福。 Jemma: 本期节目还探讨了羞耻感的不同表现形式,例如自我隔离、社交焦虑、自我破坏行为以及对自我提升的过度关注。这些行为都是为了避免被他人评判和排斥,但实际上却限制了个人发展和幸福。节目中,Jemma 分享了自己关于身材羞耻感的个人经历,并追溯了其根源。她鼓励听众们反思自身的羞耻感,并尝试找到其起源。通过与内心的孩子沟通,并用成年人的视角来安慰和保护内心的孩子,我们可以逐渐放下羞耻感,并接纳真实的自我。Jemma 建议听众们用“我感觉……”来代替“我是……”,从而将笼统的自我评价具体化,并减少羞耻感的负面影响。她还强调了自我接纳和自我爱护的重要性,鼓励听众们勇敢地展现真实的自我,并相信自己值得被爱。

Chapters
Shame is a social emotion rooted in the fear of disconnection and judgment. It can stem from past experiences, especially during childhood or adolescence, where we internalize negative messages about ourselves. This internalized shame can lead to self-sabotage, people-pleasing, and difficulty accepting positive experiences.
  • Shame is the fear of disconnection.
  • It makes us question our worthiness of belonging.
  • Chronic shame feels like part of our DNA.
  • Shame keeps us small and prevents us from being seen.
  • Trauma plays a significant role in developing chronic shame.
