    When the mother wound expert finds out she has a father wound too... Returning guest Bethany Webster joins us to discuss peeling back the layers of complex trauma onion!

    183 - The Unshaming Way: A Compassionate Guide to Dismantling Shame w/ David Bedrick

    ⚠️Stop Over-giving: Workshop with Boundaries Coach Barb Nangle⚠️ In this week’s episode, we’re joined by author, mental health expert, and professor David Bedrick as he discusses his revolutionary approach to dismantling shame and reclaiming our authentic selves. With his latest book, The Unshaming Way: A Compassionate Guide to Dismantling Shame, David offers a trauma-informed lens on how shame shapes our behaviors, often lurking in the shadows of emotions like anger and procrastination. David dives deep into the roots of shame, exploring how it forms when we experience trauma but are denied the space or tools to express ourselves. He emphasizes the importance of unshaming—inviting us to see our supposed flaws not as problems to be fixed, but as pathways to our own strength and authenticity. As we explore concepts from his new book, endorsed by Gabor Maté, we discuss practical tools for unlearning self-blame, understanding shame as an internal viewpoint, and living life aligned with our true selves. Whether you’ve struggled with shame or are simply curious about how it shows up in your life, this episode offers insightful ways to start your own unshaming journey.
