Episode 180: Ask a Coach: How to Become Shame-Resilient

This week’s Ask a Coach question is one many of you can probably relate to, and it goes like this: “Does the shame I feel after slipping up and viewing porn ever really go away?” Shame is a universal human experience that all of us go through. While we can learn to move through shame in different and more useful ways, I don’t know that it’s possible to completely get rid of it. The good news is that while shame will continue to show up for us, what we can do is start developing shame-resilience. Coach Jessica Farmer is here this week to shed light on what it means to become shame-resilient and how to start practicing this skill. She’s showing you examples of how shame might be running the show, and the importance of noticing how shame is showing up in your life so you can respond to it intentionally, show yourself compassion, and move on.
