Guilt, Shame, and Worthiness

In this week's blog, Kyle and Olivia reflect upon an Inquiry Method Training call and discuss the concepts and feelings of shame and guilt. The Inquiry Method Training Program is a great way to learn how to practice Inquiry Method with others and apply it to your life to create deep and meaningful relationships.

Our first ever Online Inquiry Method Training Program is starting this summer! For more information visit our website

Check out the full video and some main points of the discussion below.

Key Takeaways

• Guilt means we made a mistake.

• We can either forgive ourselves or forgive others. Forgiveness is "giving someone the permission to stop feeling bad"

• Shame is the feeling that there is something wrong with us and we are unacceptable. Every shame is also a power. For every shame there is repression and projection.

• Confidence comes from source; it cannot come from mind, thought, belief, or idea

• We should look at the judgments we have on others

• Finding the polarity, what we project and what we hide, and collapsing them into the middle will create balance

• Getting a rush from a compliment can indicate a judgment you have on yourself

• Once you identify with something, you need to support it all the time and often begin to limit yourself because you do not want to be seen another way

• When I am looking outside for my worth, I will feel shame. The only place to look for worthiness is in a place where we do not feel guilt and shame. There is only ONE person that can recognize how worthy you are; that person is YOURSELF

• "I AM RESPONSIBLE FOR MY WORTHINESS, I AM THE ONLY PERSON WHO CAN MAKE MYSELF FEEL WORTHY"
