Shame (Epi 29)
Shame--an emotion that can feel inescapable, especially for queer men. In this episode of The Mindfully Gay Podcast, John and Jerry take an honest and compassionate look at the origins of shame and the lasting impact it has on our lives. Through personal stories, they reflect on how shame has shaped their experiences, the lingering "old stories" that reinforce those feelings, and the ways they've begun to shift their perspectives.
Join the conversation as they explore how to recognize personal shame triggers and offer insights into transforming those "dry bones" of the past into meaningful and empowering narratives. By reframing the language we use around our experiences, we can start to build a healthier, more resourceful relationship with ourselves.
