Summary

Toxic shame is the core belief that “I am bad. I am unworthy. I need to hide my authentic self from the world in order to be loved and accepted” and a hallmark symptom of the Adult Child Trauma Syndrome.
In today's episode, I am joined by psychotherapist Robyn Gobbel, LMSW-Clinical, to discuss the neuroscience of toxic shame, it's roots in childhood, how to identify it in children, and its connection to insecure & disorganized attachment styles. Robyn has over 15 years of practice in family and child therapy experience, specializing in complex trauma, attachment, and adoption. She is the host of the Parenting After Trauma Podcast and author of the upcoming book "Raising Kids with Big, Baffling Behaviors: Brain-Body-Sensory Strategies That Really Work"
