The first counselor I ever saw at age 12 told me to stand at the mirror and repeat positive things about myself. It made me feel worse - especially because it didn’t work and reinforced that something was “wrong with me”. Thank you for validating that affirmations are not the antidote to shame.

[@Alphacentauri819]

I think positive affirmations have been such a misguided "help". Thankfully, some are realizing that this doesn't help! I used to really like positive quotes ( I still appreciate them some, but know more is needed) & needed deeper healing...but despite so many therapists and self help books...things didn't start changing until I really addressed my internal world with more. I had no idea I had a problem with shame. I could see it in others sometimes...but think I hid it from myself. Often positive affirmations don't work, because our core wounds "I'm unlovable", "I'm unworthy", are the opposite. Those are strong subconscious programs. When we merely say positive affirmations, our subconscious resists, because it seems like a lie. We don't believe those positive things. Just saying things doesn't change them. However, repetition+emotion, does. Healing the shame and also working on reprogramming our core beliefs/wounds, can be done. Then we truly change the inner way we see ourselves. Positive affirmations are like putting a bandaid on a horrible wound, a wound that needs so much more. Hope you are healing and find peace 💫

This person is an amazing speaker. Every single thing he shares is to the point and there is no nonsense. He doesn't sugarcoat anything - I respect that. He talks about value.....these talks are so valuable to many many people as our culture has been heavily shame-based. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge.

What was amazing about shifting from something so sensitive like reparenting to oceans and CO2?? I don't mean to bother, is that I felt lost and..deceived .

[@AnneAlready]

@@angelicacroitoru4946 my take on that is he is emphasizing that the same God who designed that incredible system also wants a relationship with little old "you". He is wrapping up his 6 part shame series....which we are so lucky is free. :)

I have an adopted son from China that is now 17 and has carried this trauma and shame his whole life from his abandonment and living in an orphanage. We have done therapy but nothing has come even close to the understanding that this guy shares. I have looked for years to find the answers he gives here. I am hoping my son will listen and his perceptions about himself will begin to change and heal. And the Bible studies at the end are amazing!

The most comprehensive information on shame, addiction, codependency and healing. Bravo!! Finally noticing past triggers arent triggering me now. 2 1/2 years sober...you tube has taught me so much. I am the sole survivor of my core family...siblings died from addictions...wish they knew this stuff, had the help like this they needed. I will not go out that way. This toxic shit stops with me.

[@Oaktreealley]

My husband instinctively told me one time after I was beating myself up over all my maladaptive responses to life, He said, You can hate those things you struggle with but I think you have to also be thankful to them because they helped you survive when you were a kid. It sent a shock through me like ‘WOAH I’d never considered that’. Afterwards I did start to see myself a little more with gentleness, I guess you could say. But I still need reminding from time to time. I just love and really appreciate all these videos. Thank you.

[@angelicacroitoru4946]

I see his point although is hard to live with it because same way those mechanism protected me they also keepted me isolated and numb and this added more to the trauma sice I thaught I was crazy, bad .What I find more difficult is getting away from the survival mode. My dissociation came back and I feel like a zombie

[@RippleDrop.]

Yep. I had a narcissist for mother too.

[@Lyrielonwind]

I love seeing mothers being loving and patient with their kids. I can feel a level of grief because I never felt it but also I feel tenderness. I also feel grateful because seeing an adult being mean with a child is so triggering for me. I don't have children and I thank God for it because I think I would have been overly protective, just the opposite that my mother was but I think is not healthy either, kids need room to learn and experience life. I would have pass my fears to them.

Healing Shame....is a must...thank you Tim.

[@aliyahcreations4575]

Wow .... I have had no way to articulate my shame my whole life...I had no idea it was the root of everything.. . So much pain , suffering, addiction, bad decisions, more trauma, loss developmental narcissistic traits...more shame.....developmental scitzo effective disorder, public psychotic episodes, more shame... Finally , at 42......3 years after my mother passed... I am ready to hear this information, and have the space to work on myself... I can learn to validate myself. I can't re live my life and experience what my real potential would have bloomed..... I'm living the karma of a train wreck instead.....which has become a very lonely place... Yet hearing this is shifting something deeply. I have finally found a great trauma informed counsellor and taking all this information in...over and over...till it sinks in. It's so comforting. Early days, gaining awareness and identifying the traumas and connecting the dots on the life that played out..

[@rebecca_stone]

God bless you for making such a pragmatic and constructive guide for us. The part about not crushing green shoots of healing by being around the caregivers until we're strong - this has been one of the biggest sources of shame for me in recovery - my parents and brother's reaction to me gently asking for a period of time out was to tell me I'm less than human, a narcissist, deluded, and on and on. Not to mention the well intentioned but unhelpful comments socially about estrangement. Thank you for validating that step in your talk. What people dont understand generally is that for some of us, healing this shame is literally a life or death matter. So, honestly - you're saving lives, man.

[@ariannepeers8245]

The saying positive things and looking in the mirror was hard and felt disingenuous when I first tried it. Over time, I could slowly start looking at myself in the mirror and feel OK but affirmations still bounce off in a sickly way. The most amazing thing regarding affirmations which felt real was Heidi Priebe who said 'Show up for yourself' rather than do affirmations. So when you say you are going to do something but know you probably won't, do. Healthy people show up for themselves even for that run when it may be cold and drizzly. That was so much better to me. Be the reliable person who is always there ready for you when you want to do something. Even when it's hard and you would rather pull the doona back up. Show up for yourself.

Goodness!!! This is so what happens every time-!My mother’s a complete narcissist. Both of my parents were -every time I started doing good. Oh, don’t let your wheels get a spinning or who do you think you are is what my brother used to say- it’s a huge family problem. I am the only girl and the youngest of four and my mother does this yet at 85 what my mother does it say oh well (I)…… or you shouldn’t be doing that much you can’t handle it… I can’t stand being around her and I feel horrible as a human being but every time I see her she drags me down 20 years worth. She was married five times and put every person in her life down as much as she could. It’s very sad and it’s painful to watch because I know she had a terrible childhood but it’s not my fault and I do not need to take a beating for it, my brothers had nothing to do with her… i’ve been trying to take care of her on and off take her out to things like that but it’s so difficult to be around her because everything you do is wrong and everything is drama with her you turn a corner and she’s screaming in the car that you’re trying to kill her. Oh my God it’s nothing but drama, I have tried to teach her about narcissism and tried to help her. I have sent her videos so on and so forth she slowly seeing that we’re all on her but at this point doesn’t care it’s sad because it almost appears that all she’s ever wanted to do was destroy everyone around her, because if I can’t be happy, nobody can and her eyes, when people were in pain, she would laugh… it’s just horrific I went into healthcare because of this at midlife well around 42 I believe, turns out it was probably the last thing I should’ve done even though I’m very good at it. I am completely burned out of giving and trying to earn appreciation or accolades.

I've listened to all these sessions on shame and find them great upto this point which is repeated at 9:00 minutes. 'You have value' or 'you are enough.' To whom am I of value and enough for what ? It seems the solution sets up another black and white judgement which is devisive. Any other thoughts most welcome.😁 Also, at 22:00 mins, Tim suggests surrounding yourself with people who more accurately reflect your value. If you already have trust issues, how are you going to know who is worth investing in ? Surley you're just setting yourslef up for another judgement ?

Either by finance (i.e. online groups/seminars are astronomical), location, or stuck with your abuser (for a myriad of reasons)? Easier said than done, no? I feel your pain. I'm finally free. But not without a lot of support using the public health system.
