Break The Spell Of Scapegoat Shame

Greetings adult-children,

It was an honor to sit in a deep & meaningful conversation with my colleague & therapist Tricia Giambelluca in this episode about how to break the spell of scapegoat shame & feeling like an imposter in your romantic, work and platonic relationships.

We unpacked alot of misinformation about how these trauma loops get passed down to us yet we have the power to release, unpack and transform them without the need to blame and shame ourselves.
