Summary

Toxic shame crushes self-confidence. It makes you feel small, not good enough and not worthy of love. If shame and self loathing seem to be your constant companions, this exercise could change the trajectory of your life. It uses tapping on pressure points. If you haven't tried tapping or it's been a while, re-introduce yourself. There's just too much research showing how profoundly effective it is at breaking up thought loops. I included a clickable 2 minute vid link of me showing how to do it, in case you want a refresher. XOXO -stin

0:00.0	My thought coach has finally made a debut into the 21st century by making a
0:04.2	presence on Instagram and I would so love it if you would find me and follow me
0:08.2	and say hello to me there. Today I'm going to be demonstrating how to do
0:11.7	tapping. It's powerful. If you don't know how to do it or if you need a refresher,
0:14.7	follow me on Instagram next time you're in there. If you're feeling really stuck
0:19.7	in your life, shame is one of the first things to start to explore. If you

0:33.7	manners or to be good or do your homework so you don't get in trouble or
0:37.1	shamed in front of others. We learn really young to compare ourselves and then
0:42.5	also to label our behavior as good or bad. It's when we carry this stuff with
0:47.6	us into our adult lives by labeling what we do or what we don't do as either
0:53.2	good or bad or beautiful or ugly, desirable or not, or making sure that we
0:58.3	fit in or not, that this can get extremely carried away and very toxic.
1:03.9	Our selves and others to impossible standards is a sure indicator that shame
1:09.1	is playing a destructive role in your life. You may not even realize that shame
1:15.5	is what's going on in there when you're being such a perfectionist that you
1:18.3	can't even get stuff done or when you keep putting up with bad behavior and
1:22.1	others because you just want to keep the peace and be liked by everyone and be
1:26.7	a people-pleaser. Self-sabotage or punishing yourself for things that you've
1:31.5	done or not done are also always that shame keeps showing up over and over in
1:37.7	our lives and it will keep you stuck. So if you were my client and came to me
