SHOW DESCRIPTION: n this podcast I talk about several helpful ways to get out of a shame spiral. In our society today, it can be hard to feel any degree of self-worth. We are bombarded with the shame of not living up to our own expectations, or the expectations of others. We cannot live up to the photoshopped and retouched images that seem to tell us that to be happy, we must look, dress or act in a certain way, or get straight As and go to an Ivy League university. We are not able to compete with celebrities and influencers-we are just one social media ‘like’ in a sea of admirers, wishing to be someone or do something.
It is easy to give in to these voices, listen to them and allow them to take root inside our heads. It is easy to fall into a “shame spiral,” feeling like you will never be able to live up to what society deems as worthy.
How can we escape this spiral? How can we quit the system and be happy being who we really are at our core? How can we learn to be comfortable with who we are and where we are in life?

I think the hardest of these actions to do is surround myself with loving people. I really haven’t found it very easy to find these types of people in all honesty.
Yes! I compare myself to others a lot before I found you and your resources. It was devastating to my mental health and self worth. This technique and shift of embracing my emotions and not fighting my automatic reactions to things has changed my life. Keep podcasts coming Dr.Leaf!
17:02 #2 Surround yourself with people that love you ❤💚💜
And I think it's also important to remove toxic people around you.
I love your content dr.leaf🥰
i love your rings too🥰
Thank you for sharing this information, I have been struggling so much with the emotion jealousy, I am just curious if you have ever done a video in regards to jealousy, the root cause of it, and most importantly how to overcome it in a healthy way. I am just trying to understand why jealousy exists or what is it trying to tell me about myself. I appreciate your content. Thank you so much for continuing to make these videos.
You are good even if you don't have too many viewers. They'd rather go for Huberman, to me coffeine ( his newest topic) you simply stop buying coffee and gain time by stopping watching his podcast. He reduces others dopamine, to make them follow. But never mind, yesterday I watch you, watch you later that Mr Markus Jähn has something to think about.
Is there a kids program for this process I can facilitate my kids thru? They are 7 yrs old.
Accountability and stop doing things that cause shame. If you feel guilty don’t do it. If you don’t feel guilty when you do something you know you shouldn’t do, something that causes shame later.. get help.
