Welcome to this episode of Self Kind with me, Erica Webb. Today I’m sharing some personal stories around the impact of rules-driven thinking on self-care. I’m tying this topic into last week’s episode with guest Sam Sellers, who joined us to talk about religious trauma.
I’m sharing:
- my own experiences of guilt and shame that stemmed, at least in part, from my early experiences with religion and fear (and why I left that world in my early 20s)
- why I was nick-named the Fun Police in high school
- the value that lay in moving beyond the black-and-white thinking of good and bad, especially in terms of self-care practices
- the role of values in navigating outside of rule-based thinking.
