Episode 187: What Is The Driving Force Behind ALL Our Negative Emotions?

The Evolved Caveman w/ Dr. John Schinnerer

Shame is the dominatrix of the other emotions. It dresses in a leather suit with a zippered mouth, armed with a cat o’ nine tails. It can outlast and overpower any other emotion. Shame makes other emotions get on their knees and lick it’s high-heeled shoes. Shame is the quiet belief, in our darkest moments, that we are unworthy of love, connection and belonging.
So what if shame is actually the fuel for all other uncomfortable emotions such as anger, anxiety and depression? What if shame is like a parasite that gloms onto us like the Marvel anti-hero Venom and makes us believe that we are unlovable and unworthy?
Shame is the emotion you never knew you were struggling with. The first step is always awareness. With awareness, you can begin to get curious, look for it and challenge it. Find out more in this fascinating conversation!
