Description

How do we move from internalized shame to a place of self-acceptance and safety? In this episode, trauma-informed therapist Ann Russo, LCSW, joins us to discuss the impact of shame on the body and mind, particularly within queer and marginalized identities. Through mindfulness practices like body scans and self-compassion, we explore ways to challenge negative beliefs and cultivate healing. Whether you’re on a personal journey of self-discovery or supporting others, this conversation offers insight, validation, and practical tools for reclaiming your sense of wholeness.
