Reclaiming Our Self Worth: Understanding Guilt and Shame

Try our FREE 3 day mindset Reset Challenge! https://www.thedigitaldojo.net/3-Day-Mindset-Reset

Shame and guilt are often lumped together - but they are not the same, and confusing them can block healing. In this conversation, we unpack a practical, trauma-informed distinction: Guilt is innate and can guide learning, growth, and repair. Shame, on the other hand, is taught, enforced, and constricting - and it disconnects us from self-worth rather than restoring it. When shame is removed from the equation, people naturally take responsibility, learn, and grow. Healing doesn’t require punishment - it requires safety, awareness, and compassion.
