How to feel more connected to your partner and overcome shame | With Kyira Wackett, LMHC

Kyira Wackett is a licensed mental health therapist specializing in shame and anxiety. She is the owner of Adversity Rising, a company that equips people with the confidence and skills to write their own stories. The highlight of her work is her signature program, That Life AR, where she walks people through her 5-step therapeutic process she believes can combat any pain point that comes our way because we all deserve to live a life in which we can thrive.

Main points from the show:

Kyira explained what shame is and why it shows up. She shared examples of how shame shows up in how we communicate with our partners and the impact it makes. Kyira and I talked about the three responses that come about when shame starts creeping in and how to communicate when feeling really stressed out and in a shame spiral. She notes that setting assertive boundaries sets the stage to have more connection with your partner.
