The cure for shame is love. Group is a critical antidote to shame and guilt. Nobody overcomes shame and guilt on their own, but they have to be part of the process of change and they have to have the courage to be vulnerable.
Ever felt the weight of shame holding you back? In this episode of 'Let's Talk Addiction & Recovery', host William C. Moyers chats with Senior Clinician Sarah Wicks, PhD, LP, about the heavy burden of shame and its close relationship with addiction. Sarah breaks down the crucial differences between shame and guilt, offering a fresh perspective that can be a game-changer for anyone on the recovery journey.
She explains how shame stems from actions that clash with our core values, but the real magic happens when we transform that shame into guilt—understanding that 'I did bad things' rather than 'I am a bad person'. This shift can open doors to self-forgiveness and healing. Sarah also highlights the transformative power of love and community in this process. No one can tackle shame and guilt alone; it takes courage and the support of a group to make meaningful changes.
Tune in for an enlightening conversation that sheds light on how vulnerability and connection can pave the way to recovery.
