I resonate so deeply with this Britta! I didn’t realize how big of a role shame was playing in my everyday life until I consciously started denying it power. Recognizing the shame spiral and stopping it before it takes hold has been something that I find really challenging but also very important. Thank you for sharing!!
Britta, I appreciate this post so muchZ Shame has an experience that has been so present for me throughout my life, and I do think the act of creating has been and continues to be one of the most helpful companions in the midst of shame. And it is always medicine for me when others share about their experience of shame with honesty and care. Thanks for shedding light on this painful, lonely, yet pervasive human experience. ❤️
I’ve found that when we allow people to make their own day better and not try and control their emotional state, they often turn their mood around quicker because they’re given the space to process. It’s interesting that by staying in our own ~lighter~ (sometimes) energy, we’re able to help them more.

I love that. Yes, we are not only hurting ourselves, but not really even helping them!
It’s been a practice for me. 🤍
