S1 Ep10 | Guilt vs Shame Part 2

How do you know if you're operating in shame, and how do you break free from it? Today we're finishing our 2-part series on guilt and shame. People often use the words 'guilt' and 'shame' synonymously, but the two characteristics are very different from each other. Guilt is a warning sign that we've transgressed a moral law, it's a good thing, whereas shame takes that warning sign and connects what we've done to our identity, which is unbelievably detrimental to us and the perception we have of ourselves. Join the conversation!
