In this live workshop session, Mélanie Berthaud guides participants through a comprehensive exploration of difficult emotions, especially shame, and how to work with them using self‑compassion and embodied awareness. She begins by discussing the scapegoat mechanism (René Girard) and the tendency to externalize blame, urging listeners to claim ownership of their feelings. She differentiates between merely labeling an emotion and truly sitting with it in a warm, compassionate manner, using examples like "taking a tea" with the feeling. The talk weaves in body‑emotion maps from Chinese medicine, Ayurveda, and neuroscience (Damasio), linking specific emotions to bodily locations (e.g., fear‑kidney, anger‑stomach, disgust‑intestine). Berthaud highlights the widespread “emotional illiteracy” caused by a lack of education in emotional language, recommending Non‑Violent Communication and a forthcoming course. She outlines the three pillars of self‑compassion—mindfulness, common humanity, and self‑kindness—and introduces the SCP (soften, calm, permit) technique for handling painful affect. A substantial portion is devoted to defining shame, its paradoxes, adaptive versus maladaptive forms, and its deep connection to the universal human need to be loved, tracing this need back to early attachment and neotenic development. She provides practical tools: a 15‑day meditation called “El Encuentro de las emociones difíciles,” reflective writing tasks on negative self‑beliefs, and encourages participants to expand their sense of love beyond human relationships (e.g., libraries, animals). Poetry (Dana Faulds, Hafiz, Mary Oliver) is used to illustrate and deepen emotional awareness. The session concludes with a call to practice, feedback, and information about the podcast series structure.
