Do you ever feel like you have to hide parts of yourself or apologize for your emotions? Are you highly self-critical and struggle with low self-esteem? These are signs that shame may be impacting your life more than you realize, especially if you’re a Highly Sensitive Person (HSP).

By learning to feel your shame more fully, you’ll be able to be yourself more authentically and access more joy in your life. Hiding your emotional self unintentionally disconnects you from who you are and turns down the volume on all your emotions. But everything changes when you give yourself permission to feel, and discover that it’s not as scary as you think.

Tune in this week as I share the process I use with coaching clients to help them shift out of shame and into a place of presence. You’ll learn what shame really is, how it affects HSPs differently, and why creating safety and regulation in your nervous system is key to healing from shame.

What You’ll Discover:

• Why shame is more than just an emotion and how it influences your nervous system and behaviors.
• How shame can be a freeze response trigger and a bodily imprint from early wounds.
• 6 ways shame can show up and affect Highly Sensitive People.
• How to create a compassionate, non-judgmental space to reconnect with yourself and release shame.
• A powerful practice to cultivate inner safety and hold space for shame with more presence.
