Paige Robinson's Guide to Shame-Free Communication

Episode Overview

  • Understand the difference between shaming and feeling shame.
  • Focus on behaviour statements rather than identity attacks.
  • Communicate in ways that align with your values.
  • Avoid chasing accountability; foster self-awareness instead.
  • Healthy communication doesn't guarantee change but reflects who you want to be.
"Shaming says that I want you to feel the pain I feel. I just want you to hear me."
What drives someone to seek a life without alcohol? Paige Robinson takes listeners on a heartfelt journey through the often misunderstood concepts of shame, shaming, and accountability. In this episode, Paige explores how words can either hurt or heal, drawing a clear line between identity attacks and behaviour statements. With her candid approach, she shares personal experiences and provides practical advice on communicating in ways that align with one's values.
Paige emphasises the importance of addressing behaviours rather than attacking identities, fostering an environment where change can flourish without the need for harshness. Listeners are encouraged to reflect on their own communication styles, especially when emotions run high. Paige offers insightful examples of how partners can avoid the trap of chasing accountability and instead focus on constructive conversations that promote self-awareness and growth.
Her message is clear: while you can't force someone into accountability, you can control how you communicate and stay true to your values. With light-hearted anecdotes and a sprinkle of humour, Paige makes a complex topic accessible and engaging. Whether you're in a relationship or navigating your own path to sobriety, this episode provides valuable tools for healthier interactions. So, are you ready to rethink your approach to communication and discover the impact of staying anchored in your values?
