When we even doubt the impact we might have in and on the world - this movie brings the power to believe all things are possible- we just need to find the purpose that belongs to us 🙏🏾

Shame can show itself as emotional & physical abuse …

… it can mimic addictions and/or so called “mental illness”

Families are often at a loss to understand what’s going on with their loved one.

For anyone who suffers with Shame, you’ll understand how debilitating this can be.

This is the final part in my three part series - bringing many elements systemically intertwined. It was a labour of love.

I know people close to me who suffer from societal expectations they’ll never reach & others close to me who destroyed their own lives, all driven with shame at its root - the hurt is deep & inflicting.

The difficult “Journey of Healing” is what this last post brings from a futures perspective of seeing differently 🙏🏽

Would love to hear your thoughts & how you feel after reading it

Rebuilding Identity, Relationships and Systems There comes a point in understanding shame where insight is no longer enough. We can name it, map it, trace it through childhood, relationships, and even systems, but eventually the question becomes how do we actually live differently? We need to find ....

Can we find the answers to the world's most pressing problems in silos ...
.. the most urgent problems we face aren’t siloed, so why are our solutions?

Siloed thinking produces siloed answers, and the world’s problems don’t come neatly packaged by each discipline.

This thesis explores why we need a shift toward multidisciplinary thinking that breaks down boundaries between fields, arguing that such an approach is a global necessity, not an option.

I've been researching alternative causalities of putative "mental illness" and new narratives, away from the polarity of psychiatry, for 15yrs, towards alternative futures.

For anyone who is interested, heres my latest article:

Its been a long time since i've posted here. However, with Shame so prevalent in our world today, and shaping our futures, and the behaviours of both individuals and leaders alike, I thought you might like to read my latest post:

Are you quietly carrying Shame?

Shame is something many of us carry far more quietly than we realise. I’m especially aware of how many men are battling this behind the scenes, often feeling like they have to deal with this alone. Shame has a way of convincing us that we’re the only one struggling, when in reality it’s one of the most full bodied human experiences there is.

If this resonates with you, I hope part 1 of this three part series on Shame, Forgiveness and Healing offers a little perspective and lots of hope that you are not alone in your feelings. Shame doesn’t have to have the final word. When we bring things into the light, through honesty, conversation, and grace, it can begin to lose its power.

Let's make this a conversation - looking forward to hear from you,
