Ep 6: Healing Shame & Guilt on The Birth Warrior Journey
About this episode
Shame and guilt are two of the most difficult emotions to overcome after a loss or infertility diagnosis. They hit at such a tender, tender place. And because whatever we feel guilt or shame around, we tend to feel safer keeping it a secret, these difficult emotions fester under the surface. But staying in shame and guilt can have a negative impact on our emotional balance, which can then negatively impact the conception and pregnancy journey.
As a continuation from Ep 5 where I introduce the scale (or ladder) that our emotions exist on, I dig deeper into guilt and shame here, and how to finally start releasing them. We do so by changing the way we look at them and how we look at ourselves.
