Answer
Based on the episode description, Monica shares that there are 7 Developmental & Recovery Stages of Shame, running roughly from victimization to liberation. The show notes, though, do not list each stage by name, only the overall arc of moving:
- From being victimized and shaped by shame
- To becoming increasingly aware and empowered
- To eventual liberation and authentic self-expression
To give you Monica’s exact stage names and definitions, the best sources are:
- Her book “Conquering Shame: From Surviving to Thriving”
- Her website and resources linked from the episode description
Would you like help drafting questions you could send Monica (or me) to clarify each stage in detail for your own healing work?
