It is a new year and we may find ourselves feeling a nudge to make some shifts or healthy changes within our lives. While turning towards physical health is a beneficial thing, it is also important to explore how we think and the stories we tell ourselves in the process.

It is a common misconception that shame can push people to improve. Common sayings like, “you should be ashamed of yourself” or “shame on you” imply that shame has the power to correct. But more often, shame often leads to avoidance, defensiveness and an overwhelming feeling of being stuck. I want to invite you to explore shame and how it can impact how we think, feel and behave.
