EP 431: How to Let Go of Shame & Guilt We’ve Carried Since Childhood with Michelle

<p dir="ltr">This coaching call is about being curious about body parts and sexuality with other children as a child and then feeling shame and guilt about it as an adult. Today’s caller, Michelle, was a curious child who did not have a good representation of what sex was. She asks for guidance on how to forgive herself and release her guilt and shame.</p> <p><strong> </strong></p> <p dir="ltr">[For show notes, go here: <a href= "http://christinehassler.com/episode431">Christinehassler.com/episode431</a>].</p> <p><strong> </strong></p> <p dir="ltr">How do we raise children not to be ashamed of their bodies, to feel comfortable with their sexuality, and to have boundaries? It comes down to present parenting and having an open dialogue about sexuality and boundaries. Oftentimes, when we are raised with the programming that sex is saved until marriage, there’s a curiosity that isn’t quenched.</p> <p><strong> </strong></p> <p dir="ltr">When parents don’t have conversations about human sexuality, children do not get their questions answered. Children are naturally curious and will find out on their own if a parent does not make them aware that sexual curiosity is a very natural thing that children have.</p> <p><strong> </strong></p> <p dir="ltr">If this conversation resonates with you it is time to forgive those places inside that hold guilt and shame. It doesn’t do us any good. Healing, learning, and re-parenting our inner child is what helps us grow.</p> <p><strong> </strong></p> <p dir="ltr">Christine is accepting new private one-on-one coaching clients and small groups of 2‒4 people for coaching sessions.
