About Soulful Insights

How do we connect more fully with ourselves and others? How do we unite the different parts of ourselves that don’t always seem to be in conversation? How do we shift some of the patterns and beliefs that aren’t working for us, and thereby navigate this amazing, yet complex world a little more easily? Join Ruth Katerelos (psychologist, performer, writer) and Rebecca Harris (author, psychotherapist, education consultant) as they explore themes, ideas and observations concerning the human condition. Through an open and curious lens, Ruth and Bec offer their perspectives, derived through research, observation and personal experience, on questions posed by clients and colleagues, and get a little deeper into the Synergy of Psychology, Emotion and Spirit. Join them while they explore how by understanding the psyche more fully, and by practicing certain tools and techniques, we can transcend feelings of despair, anxiety, depression and hopelessness to being able to live lives filled with a predominance of hope, satisfaction, confidence, contentment and joy.

   How does shame harm? (part 2)

   In this second episode on shame, Rebecca and Ruth explore adolescent and adult shame. They discuss why adolescence is a time when shame can be magnified, why this can have devastating impact, and they suggest possible ways to minimise shaming young people at this vulnerable time. They discuss the impact adult shame may have, and why it can be such a barrier to relationships with self and others. Ruth and Rebecca explore why healing shame is so complex, and they propose certain factors that support the healing of shame, as well as discussing some of the impediments to that healing.

   How does shame harm? (part 1)

   In this episode, Ruth and Rebecca discuss how shame arises in infants, and how complex it can be to identify, and to own feelings of shame. They explore how the magnitude of shame experienced depends on interactions with our caregivers, and they explore the difference between remorse and shame. Rebecca and Ruth also touch on the chemical and relational components of shame, and why, unhealed, it can be so destructive in people's lives. Hosted on Acast.

   What really matters?

They chat about inherited, and protective narratives that develop, and why sometimes exploring, and living our mattering can be challenging.
