From Grace & Frankie - Netflix
As a long time feeler of shame at my very core...this line cut right through to my gut.
Here's the thing about shame: - It has a sneaky way of finding back door routes to start up a shame loop, going deeper down the shame spiral - It happens when we are already not feeling at our best, maybe tired, anxious, hungry, pressured, demotivated
- It activates the reward circuit in our brain, so in a strange way it can feel good to feel bad
Here are 3 things that can support us with breaking the cycle of shame: 1. Catch it....catch the chain reaction of the stress chemical of cortisol being released into the body from the adrenal glands. Notice when it comes up and understand that shame has created a stress response in the body. 2. Find that voice of shame, what is it saying today...'I shouldn't have said that...or that was a bit over the top...or I looked foolish when I did that' ... 3. Find a part of you that can feel love and compassion for the voice of shame and offer it some reassuring words. 'You were doing your best' 'I actually think you did a great job' 'I think people think lovingly towards you, they won't be judging you in this way'. This could be your inner protector, your inner parents, your inner best friend. 4. Work with me for a one off coaching session!!
At this difficult time in a unique period of history we can up our self care. We can tend to the parts of us that may be caught in anxiety or shame loops, understandably so. We can catch the loops and choose to activate the reward circuit in a different way, we can connect to emotions of care, love and compassion. We can offer ourselves loving touch, such as a self hug, a stroke of our arms.
