In this podcast, Scott discusses how shame and guilt serve as protective layers shielding us from deeper, buried emotions. He explains that we often compartmentalize our reality, identifying with parts of ourselves that bring love and approval, while hiding the parts that evoke fear and shame. This division leads to ongoing suffering, with many individuals feeling trapped in shame, mistakenly believing it's the final barrier on their healing journey. Scott suggests that instead of viewing shame as an endpoint, we can dissolve it and address the root of our suffering, recognizing that shame was merely a protective mechanism. By embracing authenticity, we no longer need that protection. To work directly with Scott, visit https://kiloby.com/scott.
