Owning Our Narratives
w/Rev. James Perkins Jr.
The purpose of CelesteTheTherapist is to help shift the way you think. Many times, we get stuck in a negative cycle and struggle with getting out. Celeste will interview guests from different backgrounds who empower people in different capacities.
In this episode, Celeste The Therapist and Rev. James Perkins Jr., spiritual leader, therapist, and coach, talk about how shame manifests in our lives. The episode also introduces the concept of semantic and episodic memory to make sense of how we perceive life.
Shame can make us feel that we are not enough and unworthy of belonging, hindering us from becoming truly empowered. This episode teaches us the importance of owning our own narratives to create the best version of our lives that we desire. Catch this episode now and subscribe to learn more.
