Episode 49 - Guilt: Guide or Gremlin?

Roots of the Rise

We explore the complex nature of guilt as an emotional feedback system that can either guide us toward growth or bind us in shame. Guilt serves as a signal when we've fallen short of our values, offering an opportunity to realign with our authentic selves when we approach it with discernment and compassion.
• Guilt arises when we fall short of our own expectations or values
• The distinction between guilt ("I did something bad") and shame ("I am bad")
• How guilt can be a teacher when it guides us and a demon when it binds us
• Examining the contextual forces that influence our actions
• Seven practical steps to process guilt in a healthy way
• The importance of self-forgiveness as a crucial component of growth
• Remembering that we never lose our inherent worth despite our actions
