E082 Letting Go of Guilt

Sneak Peek
In many circumstances, guilt is an appropriate internal safeguard that helps to keep us from doing things that are harmful to others. But when persistent feelings of guilt begin robbing you of happiness, it’s a signal that you need to make a change Most of us know on some level that guilt is an unproductive emotion. Left unchecked, guilt can lead to feelings of self-loathing, depression, and self-destructive behavior. It solves nothing, it rectifies nothing, and it helps no one.
