So how can someone know whether they're feeling guilty because of something they did or ashamed because of who they are? Like, how do we know whether we're experiencing guilt or shame? Yeah.
8:22
So this is a wonderful question because they're so commonly confused.
8:27
And this is so, so important because if you're confusing whether you're feeling ashamed for who you are versus guilty, and oftentimes it could present as guilt, then there's one may take the wrong healing or what I call in my field treatment approach.

So I'd like to answer your question with a clinical vignette, like an example.
8:53
So we can really look at how this, you know, all of this relates to somebody who might be listening or watching this.

Okay.
