hello, I've just found your channel. shame is one of the main things I'm working with in my life right now and I find this video really helpful.
Thanks so much for sharing! Shame is such a powerful part of our lives when left unchecked and for so many of us, we had no idea what it was or how it has been showing up for years. I am excited to support you in your shame resilience journey. This is a lifelong process. Be kind to yourself in the process of this work. It took us decades to develop these patterns - they won't unravel in a week.
Constant anxiety
That was my biggest experience for sure, and still is when I get stuck in that feedback cycle again. The "what if" game is so prominent and consumes us when we get stuck here and it is about learning to unwire those patterns and to begin to develop self-trust to bring ourselves out of that protective anxiety state.
Hey! Loved our conversation, thanks for having me and running such an awesome podcast!
Aa an LPC myself, I just sent this to my client, it's a really well done and great explanation. Thank you Kyira!
Thank you so much! I am glad it can be a support for your client and I appreciate you taking the time to share this with me!
❤❤
Great video! I have issue all of those, but i can really resonate with the first one, I feel like a, "failure to launch". I'm taking concrete steps to get to where I want to go in life, but I still cant help but feel like I'm too old to be where I am in life.
Thank you, intrusive thoughts used to really get to me, especially as they would come out of the blue. My Psychologist would tell me that they are just thoughts and tell me about grounding techniques and now I can control them much better
It is so important we normalize them as so many people struggle with them and feel like something is wrong with them. I am glad you had the support of a psychiatrist that could help you navigate these and that you feel better equipped to handle them now!
I've always been an "if you're not clipping, you're fine" sort of person - but your voice sounds great and your content is much appreciated and needed during this time 😊
Thank you so much! I appreciate that :)
❤❤
Ahhhhhh.. I forgot this. And the loneliness is actually trying to drag me back. Thanks for the reminder!
You are so welcome! Glad this helps with that reframing process. It's so hard.
I broke the abuse cycle only to lose my kids anyway. It’s like I was able to break free, but they still got stuck with it. It’s mental health. I’ve made therapy available and they still walked away.
That has to hurt so much. It's hard knowing you can only do what you can do and that sometimes there is still pain. I am glad you took the time to make your own healing a priority and then all you can do for them is to keep making support available and finding grace and compassion for you and them.
Very helpful episode! I have trouble maintaining confidence while pursuing personal goals, I care about. Sometimes I think I can't reach my goals, even though I'm taking steps toward them. Do you have any tips for this issue?
It sounds more like you know what you want but have a hard time believing you can or are allowed to have them (i.e. goals and then the success that comes with them). I think before working on your goals it will be important to do some work on understanding your sense of self through the lens of core beliefs and shame. From there, you can begin to develop an understanding of how your beliefs and subsequent decisions are rooted in extrinsic motivation and the beliefs you may hold about not being good enough or deserving. Once you figure out what those thoughts are and where they came from you can begin to dismantle them with work on radical acceptance, inner child healing and ultimately clarification of your values and subsequent next steps.
@@adversityrising thank you !
Nah we need more shame. This society has become so corrupt and degenerate its not even funny anymore.
right on!
Well, I broke the cycle by not having kids....
Overwhelmed
That one has been coming up for me a lot lately too!
Let's point out a problem with your eyebrows!
Wow.. it's like you are singing my song
It's interesting how predictable these patterns are and yet we all feel like we are the problem or alone in the feelings.
Hi,.. I loved my City transit bus driving job. It was my life.. then I listened to others that were retiring, they made it seem like was the best thing ever... so I joined them.. I immediately realized what I did.. it destroyed me, and my life. I got anxiety, insomnia and depression depression. I feel so much guilt and regret... self blame. I don't enjoy my life anymore.. its like my life ended. I don't enjoy anything I used to... and have nothing i want to do... I know only i can feel this pain.. I need to validate all the time. , in self pity.
This deserves more views!
Thanks for your support!
I go from being super people pleaser to being weirdly hurt and sometimes slightly aggressive so assertiveness is something I definitely want to work on. Thanks for this video!
I completely understand that experience. I struggle with the people pleasing so much and I think the only option when you don't ever show up for yourself is resentment -- which we don't realize is more towards ourselves than others but we lash out because we don't know how else to handle those feelings. I think the biggest insight I ever got in this journey was realizing that when I people please, I am conditioning people not to factor me in and the only way I can be seen in the ways I want, is to factor myself in and help reconditon other relationships as well.
Thank you so much for this video! A friend suggested it to me. My family and I have been dealing with circumstances that have shaken our stability. Though I know that these circumstances were out of our control, I am still struggling. I blame myself for not being more prepared financially. If I had taken steps to save more these circumstances maybe wouldn’t have hit us so hard. I feel a lot of anger, shame, and unworthiness. I think radical acceptance would really help me move forward. I looked through your other videos and made a list of ones to watch. Thank you so much for just being you and taking the time to make all of these videos. You are so appreciated ♥️
I have been an ACT therapist since 2007 and this is the best explanation of Self as context that I have ever seen. Changing that one two letter word (as to in) really had an impact on me. The message I got was Self does not have to be defined, it just is. It's all the defining that creates a problem. I am using your video in my virtual group this week. Thank you so much!
I am so glad this is a tool that can help further your own work (and it sounds like the work others are doing as well in your virtual group). I feel like sometimes these basic conetps can become overcomplicated and learning how to break them down and what it actually looks like to use them in practice is key to developing a different way of thinking or interpreting information. This is still one of the most powerful tools in my toolbox to combat shame and cognitive distortions as well!
Try and let go of judgement based on events beyond my control
This really resonated with me.
Love this video! ❤
Thank you! Glad you found it helpful! It is such a simple and yet difficult concept to think about but it is a game changer when you can get there with it.
Great video 💖 This randomly got suggested to me but was relevant. I have struggled with the anxiety of not having enough time, and the only way I’ve been able to let it go is to change the definition of what success means to me. It’s no longer about external achievements but rather prioritising the way I feel about my work and about myself. I’d rather prioritise my inner peace and stability over external achievements because they don’t mean much if you’re not feeling good internally anyway. And also there’s no time limit on feeling good, and I’ve found because I’ve taken the pressure off myself of getting everything done, ironically I seem to get more things done now. A saying that I like is ‘I can never get it all done,’ which also takes the pressure off and realising I just need to prioritise the things most important to me.
That is such an awesome perspective shift to make -- and not an easy one to implement. I am so excited to hear the impact it has had on you and the way you are able to show up for and live a life you are excited about. I am grateful you found my video and took the time to comment and share to help support other people in their shame resilience journey as well!
Thank you. I needed to hear this.
You are very welcome. Soemtimes it is as simple as a small reframe that can help shift our whole focus/perspective.
I'm signed up for your series. I'm looking forward to it.
So excited you will be joining us! It's going to be a great group :)
All my life feel like vicious cycles. Furst get inspired to do things (trying everything that would make me feel better) for some periods get that feel of excitement, hope, proud until break down, burnout and hit the rock button in worst way i couldn't even imagine. Eventually life hit me strong enough that i couldn't suppress feelings anylonger and then decide to face then and take responsibility for them. At first it fell so scary like i,m letting my self down surrender to the feelings i,m scared to fell like i can't afford to feel them, it felt against my will against my mind actually who didn't want to let go of control things and fixing them. But intuitive just reject any idea that the mind trow at me with intention to do something. By staying with feelings and expected the least i begin to tap more and more deep into peaceful presence and totally free from the mind literally all the meaning that has all the concepts became so obvious his illusionary nature. Been fully present staying alone sitting on the bed it was the most extraordinary and the moy joyfully experience I've ever had. I realize everything it's absolutely perfect the way it is feel alive calm and alert in the same moment perceived so much through all the senses and totally free from mind perceptions and thinking. Next day back to confusion and frustration finding out the mind has evolved in a ways that to catch my attention and drag me out of presence !
It was not okay. We can do better.
Yes! Great way to phrase it!
Yeah, I pretty much experienced the same thing. Trauma was never addressed until I was permitted to join a DBT group where triggers and dysregulation were discussed. I was in talk therapy from 10 years And on medication later for 25 years. Prior to the intro of medication, I had had numerous emotional breakdowns and years of isolation. My trauma and autonomic nervous system dysregulation and freeze response was never discussed. Every day was a retraumatization through neglect. Take this med and come back next week. Eventually, the doctor who recommended DBT saved the remainder of my life, but the trauma is still left for me alone to work on, and no one understands that your body and mind are hypervigilant against retraumatization, and your remaining friends only offer additional drama. Life passes. May no others experience this therapeutic incompetence, where their only goal is to get you to return in a week and your dreams and goals become nothing because nothing can be done. I too have had dozens of therapists and a diagnosis of a mood disorder in constant remission but never cured and never healed, as trauma was never addressed. It too took me years to find the language. Thank you for explaining this in exacting details. I can attest to all of this too. 🙏
It is so hard to know that so many of these stories and experiences exist. That lost feeling or the self-blame that comes with this can be so challenging to try and manage. I am glad you found this episode and connect with what was shared to help you and others feel less alone.
I'm so far down the shame rathole and have been 'acting' for so long. How do I even recognize what my authenticity is? I see the value. but it's the how I'm missing. I'll see what the links reveal. Thanks. :)
It is so hard and a big part of it is realizing that performing has been your safe place. You likely needed to perform when you were growing up and even in early adult life to keep you safe. Being that version was how you secured connection, approval or validation which in turn felt like love. It's going to be scary for that part of your brain to consider giving up the performance so it will be important to be kind to yourself in all of this. Move slowly and perhaps it might even be helpful to focus first on what the performance looks like, why you developed it and then you can figure out if any part of it feels like it aligns with you. Try filling in the blank "I have/am supposed to do/be ____________" or "I can't ____________ or else ____________." See what comes up with this and perhaps begin to ask yourself, "Who would I be if I wasn't afraid of others judgment? How would my life look different?"
There are sooooo many people on earth it’s ludicrous to act as if you are
Who am I being me for ? Am I deeply connected to the me I be ? Am I having fulfillment with the me I be and see in the mirror or desperation ?
Hey there! Fellow LPC here. This video has been so incredibly helpful as this concept has been difficult for me to understand. You did a fantastic job explaining and now I feel capable of applying it in sessions! Thank you so much!
Hi!! I am so glad this helped! It feels like so many of these little concepts and ideas get lost in our training and it took me so long to really understand some of them so I am happy I can help it feel more accessible for you as well :) If you have other ideas for videos you would like to see, I am always excited to hear from others in the field what we need more of :)
Jesus loves you all and he is coming back soon so please repant of your sins and go back to jesus christ he is the true lord and he is coming back soon
I can do my job just fine. However, my ability to tolerate other people who don't do their jobs becomes less so. In other words, I lose patience.
Having been in law enforcement for my entire adult life, it would _shock you_ how many people with a badge can’t figure this out
Over time, this becomes less true
Yeah but, I’m in an at will state;meaning I can be let go for no reason whatsoever…
I completely understand that and it has to feel so difficult being in a job where you feel like they could fire you for any reason. The thing I think about is that you don't have to be happy or take on extra work to be a great employee and if a company is only going to keep you if you erode your own boundaries or just play the "yes" person then they were always going to look for a reason to let you go. I think so many of us now are in this state of fear and feeling like we don't have any control because it feels like we need the job more than they need us. There may be elements of that that feel true and I think we have to find ways to shift the norm to remember that these systems only work for as long as we keep engaging in them. Show up and give your 100% but also know that if that is not good enough, that says more about the company than it does about you. And even if you play the game, play the game with a consciousness where you don't lose sight of your value inside of those choices.
@@adversityrisingno one fakes positivity at work because thats what they want to do. The reality is that the vast majority of people effectively have a financial gun pointed at them. People do just what they need to not get fired so they dont miss rent and can sort of afford groceries, medicine and whatever they use to help them forget that the world is burning around them. Every time someone changes jobs could mean being without insurance or pay for varying amounts of time. It isnt easy which is very likely the point. Someone that doesnt feel like they have a choice other than to work where they do and hope nothing goes wrong is very easy to abuse. Just as employers like it.
❤❤ if they are not choosing you, they cannot possibly be the one for you...
YES!!!! AND...that is okay! It doesn't mean you are unworthy. It just means the relationship no longer fits (or never did).
This explanation is amazing!!!
Thank you! Glad it resonated with you :)
I really appreciated your video. I have this problem and I also need to learn to accept myself more too when I make a mistake and mess up what was in my control. Then I can know that im not perfect and just try to do better moving forward I really related to the part about allowing yourself to feel like life was hard at that moment even though you know your life isnt hard. I often badger myself for that belief.
It sounds like you and I have similar brains and spend a lot of time judging ourselves or creating expectations beyond our control. It's so hard to unlearn these patterns of thinking, and i think the more we talk about it and keep building insight into what is exactly going on, the easier it can all be.
Nedra Glover tawwab has a good book called "set boundaries, find peace" where she talks about the responses others may have and how to navigate them...
Yes! This is such a good book and really breaks down why boundaries are hard for us and what it looks like to set them in different contexts. Thanks for mentioning this!
just thinking the word acceptance seems to work for me but thinking the term radical acceptance really clears out the house. Opens the eye of that observer self. I accept all without reservation.
True. Childhood trauma ripens actually when suppressed and time worsens it.
Thank you for your guidance 🙏
I can't understand why your beautiful and mindfilul contents don't have the real attention! Thanks a lot for sharing❤
