29. Guilt & Shame. Carol Mae Whittick

This week diving deep into the contrasting realms of shame and guilt. What are their distinct characteristics and how do they affect our lives?

The distinction between shame and guilt is very important, since these two emotions may tear a person in opposite directions. The wish to relieve guilt may motivate a confession, but the wish to avoid the humiliation of shame may prevent it. - Paul Ekman
