Confronting Shame: Are You Living a Lie?
Are you living a lie? Do you know the type of person you want to be versus the person you are expected to be? You might not know exactly who you want to be, but you recognize the unhappiness stemming from the person you have become, largely due to shame.
In this episode of It’s Not You; It’s Your Trauma, Joe Ryan dives deep into the pervasive issue of shame and how it affects everyone he counsels, regardless of nationality, belief system, politics, religion, sexuality, etc. Shame thrives in darkness, creating isolation and resistance to being seen. Joe outlines steps to uncover your shame, bring it into the light, and ultimately eliminate it.
Key Insights from This Episode:
- Living Authentically: Learn to live a life outside the role your family has set for you and embrace the life you want, free from shame.
- Self-Assertion: Stop conforming to others’ expectations and show up for yourself. Take care of yourself, set boundaries, and learn to say no.
- Independence: Break free from feelings or thoughts that make you think you need to consult others before making significant decisions. Become strong enough to make your own choices without seeking permission.
- Dealing with Loss: Be prepared to lose people in your life once you start living authentically. If people guilt and shame you into being something you’re not, they need you more than you need them.
