Guilt and shame are very powerful emotions that can adversely impact our mental wellbeing and affect our behaviour. They are usually responses to a perceived wrongdoing. Guilt usually follows an action (I did something bad), whereas shame targets our sense of self (I am bad).

Today June 2nd, 2024, is Emotion Awareness Day.

Addictions come in many forms e.g. substance use, gambling, shopping, s*x, and many more. Addictions frequently stem from an underlying emotional pain or trauma. It is helpful to understand that it is a coping mechanism to numb the pain, or to experience feelings that would not normally be experienced such as comfort and joy.

For those who have experienced addiction, or know someone who has, this blog may resonate with you.
