Answer
I don’t have a specific list from Vivek Tyagi’s own content in front of me, so I’ll share tools that are very much in line with what I’d recommend to break shame–guilt loops:
- Self-compassion practices (Kristin Neff’s work, compassionate journaling, talking to yourself like a kind friend)
- Cognitive reframing: catching “I am bad” thoughts and rewriting them as “I did something I regret, and I can repair”
- Embodiment work: breathwork, somatic tracking, grounding to calm the nervous system behind the shame
- Repair conversations when safe: apologizing, clarifying, and asking what the other person needs
- Therapeutic support: especially approaches like IFS, EMDR, or ACT that work directly with shame
Is there a particular situation or pattern of shame and guilt you’re trying to work through right now?
