Shame is one of my favourite things to talk about. Seriously! It is the worst thing to experience, but because of its power over so much of our lives, I find it endlessly fascinating. Shame is my explanation for basically everything. And the more I learn about it, the more I think I am right! Well maybe not shame, specifically, but the things we do to cover up shame. We drown it in alcohol, smother it with sex, cloak it with rage and defensiveness.
On this episode, I am joined by clinical psychologist Dr. Nanci Argueta to talk about shame and the terrible mix of shame and sex. It’s enough to make you squirm in your seat in discomfort. We also talk a lot about the work of Brene Brown, the shame research who I believe is going to save us all.
Shame and sex, what do we know? Do we know things? Let's find out!
