I don't have any problem to feel or share about shame -- humility is helpful.

Well done ❤❤❤❤ 0:37

I am so lonely. All my shame from all my horrible mistakes has lead me to completely isolate from the world. I am 50 and don’t even know why I am here. Like you said I just wanted to be loved.

Am I the only one who is getting physically upset sometimes with this meditation? I mean my heart beating fast etc. I know that’s why we put a hand over our hearts, to calm the body. It doesn’t always cut it for me. I tried some movement with my hand today over the heart and it was a bit better :) just some very gentle strokes. I wonder if other people have the same experience with getting a bit upset? And my words that come up a lot are: “You are important to me”

Merci! ❤️❤️

Seeing that first Women's Roller Derby could change your life.... Ever been to a Tractor Pull?

I've never really understood what mindfulness means. As an artist I guess it means maybe inspiration or the patience to reflect on a situation with more consideration. Who knows.

Cubensis is the first step if you don't have pre-existsing mental health diagnoses. A comfortable familiar setting, a few friends on a nice day. A birds eye view of yourself and your life and what's imortant.

i like this guy

I feel very lucky and grateful to exist in a time where I can access this gem completely for free

I was getting into my body while breathing nicely, then the commercial interrupted, I had to get up and physically skip it. I know it's important for youtubers to make some profits from the channel yet it was sort of a turn-off. I really like your meditations though. Thank you.

I just rented your book 📖 from the library.

thank you so much for the experience it was peaceful and beautiful

This is so good. Thank you, Dr. Germer.

Sir I just want to say I think you saved my life today ❤

My instinct is that I'm not worthy of this help. Hello misery, the eternal friend

Thank you for your kindness

How do i bring this up to my therapist to redirect the focus in our sessions from anxiety to shame ?

25 years since i started studying Psichology. I am a therapist. I can say this; BEST SHAME VIDEO EVER.

Most insightful talk n healing remedy. U r so right one big problem with shame is shame feelings strongly tend to hide, suppress, make us aviod to take about what makes us feel shame. Mindfulness self compassion n feeling the universality of the shame emotion r the key to healing. I basically work with drug addicts n have found AA/NA self helps n 12 step program very helpful as they loosely address shame on the same principles. Compassion, sharing, accptance etc.

Thank you Christopher <3

This helped

I wish I could tell him he saved my life ❤ thank you Mr. Germer. Years of work has paid off

This is excellent 🎉🎉❤❤ thank you for yoir work on this x

I feel shame over retaliating against what I perceive to be unjustified disrespect. But my tit for tat retaliation results in feelings of shame as I feel my behavior is morally wrong. So it's a double shame. Shame of being disrespected doubled down by shame of immorality. 🙄 FFS 🙄

This video changed my Life!!!

No. Shame has spiritual root. It will open doors to orphan spirit. It has emotional hurt, wound & trauma. Self-compassion = self pity = will look for validation & love in the wrong places; will spiral down to narcissist, needing supply, revenge. At the end hurt ppl will hurt other ppl. What you don't have you can't give.

this was very powerful

I screwed up too much and deeply hurt people including my own kids and now I’m suicidal. There’s no love for me here. 😢😢😢😢

Thank you very much

I've felt shame all my life. I'm autistic and was not diagnosed until my mid 20's. I desperately craved love and acceptance that I never felt that I deserved. I became extremely self absorbed and ultimately caused extreme damage in my life. Specifically in my relationships. This just deepens the shame. Thank you for this video.

Thank you, Dr.Germer for this important video on shame, the key components that make it so destructive, to identify and dismantle its grip on us with the power of mindfulness and self-compassion. This is critical for breaking the painful cycle of shame-based identity issues.

I will stop using you tube if the meditations all have adds

What helped me with my shame was the books letting Go by david hawkins and the untethered soul by micheal singer

I dunno what I'm gonna do. I have intense, intense misophonia and so many people online trigger it with their speaking habits. I really lose it when it happens while watching a video like this that could otherwise really help me. It makes me want to punish myself. Even just the slightest thing between sentences sets me off and makes me feel unsafe. I've tried exposure therapy so many times but I think it just doesn't work because I don't know how to feel safe

Watching this I realise that I have a lot of chronic, internalised shame from childhood bullying and family scapegoating. The most common manifestation for me is that sense of sinking and dissociation and ruminating on being unworthy and incapable. It makes everyday situations, performing a job or interacting socially trigger a fight or flight response. It's really good timing to encounter this video, because recently I've been experiencing burnout and hit a rock bottom, and in this place that I'm in recently I've started to allow myself to feel feelings of sadness that I normally dissociate from - into a state of numbness, stress or despair. I'm kind of learning to feel sorry for myself in a healthy way: rather than feeling self pity, whereby I ruminate on how unfair everything is and how desperately sad my life is, and how hurt I am by everyone and everything, I'm starting to learn that there's a healthy way of feeling sorry for yourself (which I now have a name for: self-compassion). I'm learning to feel sorry for myself that I feel so badly about myself, telling myself that I don't deserve to feel that way, but also taking responsibility for how I feel about myself and how I treat myself.

Thank you ❤

I prefer Jordan Peterson’s advice. More intellectual and his advice has helped many.

Unfortunately, due to extreme childhood trauma, I feel shame and so sorry for my existence. For simply just being alive, I feel guilty for influencing others lives in any way. Or having needs at all. It hurts my want to live my life more authentic. I don’t even know where to start with self compassion when it comes to this. I used to apologize to my mother that I am so sorry I am alive. I did not mean to ruin her life. I didn’t ask to come here and do that. To add to this- 26 years of abuse. I only exited and went no contact this year in may.

Thank you

This video touched on something that though I could identify, I’ve always struggled coming to terms and dealing with. I appreciate your knowledge and vulnerability! This has helped me immensely 😊
