Curious about how others navigate their sobriety journey? In this episode of 'Shrink, the podcast for the mind', psychotherapist Philippe Tahon tackles the weighty issue of guilt, a feeling that many of us carry without even realising it. He explores how guilt often stems from childhood, cultural norms, and the incessant drive to please others. Philippe argues that guilt can be toxic, keeping us stuck in cycles of self-criticism and shame.
Instead, he suggests shifting towards responsibility and empathy as a healthier alternative. Philippe shares practical tips to help listeners move away from guilt and towards self-compassion. By naming the inner critic, recognising the positive intentions behind guilt, and reframing 'I should' into 'I want', listeners can create a more compassionate inner dialogue. He also highlights the importance of self-compassion, encouraging listeners to treat themselves with the same kindness they would offer a friend.
The episode wraps up with a guided reflection aimed at releasing guilt and reconnecting with empathy. Philippe's gentle approach provides a refreshing perspective on how we can be kinder to ourselves and embrace our humanity. Feeling weighed down by guilt? Maybe it's time to explore these practices and see how they can help you grow. Are you ready to let go of guilt and embrace responsibility?
