Toxic shame is what happens when feeling badly about aspects or the totality of who we are is as if it were stamped into our DNA.
Ever feel like you're carrying a heavy, invisible burden? In this episode of The Recovery Guy Podcast, Robert Pardon tackles the complex and deeply personal issue of toxic shame. Toxic shame isn't just feeling bad about something you've done; it's an ingrained sense of worthlessness that can stem from repeated traumatic experiences, often starting in childhood. Imagine feeling like you’re never good enough, no matter what you do. That’s the weight of toxic shame.
Robert shares his own painful memories, like being unfairly blamed and shamed as a child, to illustrate how these feelings can stick with us into adulthood. He emphasizes that while there's no quick fix for toxic shame, there are ways to chip away at it and reclaim your sense of self-worth. One of the first steps is recognizing that these feelings aren’t your fault. From there, Robert suggests daily practices of self-reflection and positive reinforcement to start healing.
He talks about the importance of surrounding yourself with supportive people who can help you see your true value. This episode is packed with practical advice and heartfelt stories that aim to give listeners hope and a clear path forward. Whether you're struggling with toxic shame yourself or supporting someone who is, you'll find Robert's insights both comforting and actionable. Tune in to learn how to break down the walls of toxic shame and move toward a more fulfilling life.
