One of the Ways to Counter Shame

[@SusieV59]

I was told that guilt was making me feel bad about myself. But I now see that the shame is making me feel bad. I have started to be more kinder towards myself lately as I have been told by so many people to stop beating myself up. Yes I was taught so many unhealthy messages about myself growing up. It's been such a long painful journey just to get to this place in my life. So I am just going to put one foot in front of the other and keep going knowing that every little seed I sow now I will reap the benefits in the future, which builds my hope gives me something to look forward to. Thanks for these videos they are so helpful in my recovery.

So well explained Jim! For me it feels like telling myself all the positive stuff that I didn’t receive from my parents and this way breaking that false core belief of not being worthy enough. Thanks for the video, your channel deserves a big boost in 2024❤

Maybe it's just possible to start by just questioning my usual and negative thoughts of course. I haven't tried, but I'll try to start🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

This really explains "shame" in a way I didn't realize, until now. Wow! Thank you!

Affirmations have been in the self-help field for over 20 years. But they never worked for me. Why? Because I didn’t do the work of going into the pain first. Feeling the pain, staying with the pain, talking to the pain, and asking what it was. What was the emotion it was feeling and why? Then I could work through the what if I didn’t have the shame, what if I didn’t have this hate? How would I feel then? I would love myself. I love myself! Then the pain completely disappears, and I find myself in a whole different place in my body with my eyes up, light shining in and out, and filled with love. Otherwise, there is no foundation for the new affirmation. Without that foundation, the affirmation just gives away like a house built on sand. Somatic tracking has been a game changer for me. I keep track of all my hard - earned affirmations and go through them every day. Little by little, the pain is retreating. Thank you for this channel.

New to your channel and have watched quite a bit of your content. Is your work also influenced by Dr.David Hawkins?
