  • 184 - Peeling Back Layers Of The CPTSD Onion w/ Mother Wound Expert Bethany Webster

    184 - Peeling Back Layers Of The CPTSD Onion w/ Mother Wound Expert Bethany Webster
    Oct 23 2024

    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! She shares about her shocking discovery of repressed memories about her father’s abuse, a revelation that showed up a full decade into her healing journey.

    We also cover her decision to go no-contact with her entire family (because sometimes healing means walking away), and how post-relationship therapy with her ex helped her tackle deep childhood trauma.

    Bethany Webster is an expert on healing the mother wound, coach, and the author of “Discovering the Inner Mother: A Guide to Healing the Mother Wound and Claiming Your Personal Power”

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

    183 - The Unshaming Way: A Compassionate Guide to Dismantling Shame w/ David Bedrick
    Oct 16 2024

    ⚠️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.
