the shame drain (shut up, beryl!)
Meet Q, a gay man who’s never felt enough. Q is struggling with self-worth, body image, belonging, and a critical internal voice that’s always telling him he’s worthless. Dave, Jamie, and Tom chat about how they would support Q – including issues with contingent self-worth, moving towards success rather than running away from failure, how to address the inner critical messages, and defusing from unhelpful thoughts and behaviours.
