But this particular hormone is released, and the hormone is something that is used to make us feel more connected. But this is really her term and it goes along with her entire book, her program, because she believes that the cure for shame is self-compassion.
Steven Wilson dives into a topic that resonates deeply with many: the role of shame in recovery. In this episode of 'The Leaves of a Victim Nevermore', Steven shares his thoughts on Beverly Engel's self-help book, 'It Wasn't Your Fault'. Engel, drawing from over 30 years as a psychotherapist and her own experiences as an abuse survivor, argues that self-compassion can counteract the damaging effects of shame. However, Steven offers a different perspective.
As someone who has endured childhood sexual abuse and is in recovery from drug addiction, he brings a unique and personal viewpoint to the discussion. He respectfully disagrees with Engel's emphasis on self-compassion as the primary solution to shame. Instead, Steven believes in the importance of personal responsibility and professional therapy. Through candid reflections and personal anecdotes, he sheds light on the complexities of dealing with trauma and addiction.
This episode isn't just about critiquing a book; it's a heartfelt conversation about the struggles of healing and the paths one can take towards recovery. If you're grappling with similar issues or seeking a deeper understanding of shame and recovery, this episode offers valuable insights and perspectives.
