In this episode of the Walk the Talk Show Podcast, Waylon discusses a three-step approach to dealing with the feeling of shame:
- Examine the shame you are experiencing, without defensiveness, and be willing to feel it.
- Take some responsibility and remember that the person who “shamed” you is also a human being.
- Thoughtfully respond.
Let’s stop using shame as an excuse to not consider the significance of what someone is trying to explain or share with us.
Instead, the next time we feel shamed by someone, let’s consider that they may be advocating for a more responsible behavior, a behavior that we might actually want to adopt.
Let’s consider that if we are able to get out of the guarded, protective armor that the feeling of shame creates within us, we may be able to learn something new and meaningful.
