I hate being wrong. I pride myself on making thoughtful choices and I work really hard to make sure I consider the best course of action and all the possible outcomes.
That doesn’t mean that I expect myself to be perfect before I act (which is a different issue), but that I am really hard on myself when I make a mistake.
Especially a public mistake where others can see I messed up.
This week’s podcast is about what comes up when we are dealing with the shame of making mistakes.
This is another example of me tapping for one of my own issues in real time. I hope you find it useful.
This was really helpful Gene. I will use this in the next four weeks to address a long standing issue. And a pal is too. And I hadn’t realised shame was holding me back, so it was great to acknowledge this too. Thank you. Love your posts. Bless you.
Thank you, Gene for your time and thoughtfulness concerning this issue of Shame. I didn’t really have a name for this feeling until now.
