Healing Shame, When Nothing Seems to Be Working | Dr. Zoe Shaw
About this episode
What if the shame you carry isn't just from one event, but layers of experiences that typical healing approaches can't touch?
Dr. Zoe Shaw reveals why some people remain trapped in patterns of shame despite outward success, and shares a revolutionary framework for healing what she calls "complex shame" from her book "Stronger in the Difficult Places: Heal Your Relationship with Yourself by Untangling Complex Shame." Learn why traditional advice about vulnerability sometimes falls short, how shame lives in your body, and practical steps to transform your relationship with yourself and others.
