We have to admit it: we all (yes, I) have used shame tactics when it comes to health. It's a part of our culture and once we admit it, we can start being on the look for where we are using the tool of shame against us. Because shame doesn't make anyone healthier. Period. It backfires time and again.
In this episode, I discuss how shame is being used, often covertly, as well as other ways to address actions that can be changed.
As always, there are plenty of examples from real life.
