Could Shame Actually Be a Source of Strength?

Shame is one of the most uncomfortable emotions we can experience. As such, humans are often compelled to hide from it.

But what if this awkard emotion is trying to tell us something? What if we looked at it head-on and took away its power over us?

Abbie’s talk will dive into the science of shame and reveal how this powerful emotion could actually guide us towards our most authentic selves if dealt with in a healthy manner.
