What is shame, really? And how often is it shaping what we do, what we say, and even who we try to become? Why is it one of the most powerful motivators in our lives, yet also one of the most misunderstood? In this discussion, we’ll take a deeper look at shame, not just as a feeling, but as a force. Where does it come from? What’s happening in the brain when we feel it? And is some level of shame actually necessary for growth and social connection… or does it do more harm than good?

Hosted by Karli, a brilliant psychological counsellor who has run some of Shanghai’s top clinics, this session builds on last month’s exploration of anger and leads into next month’s discussion on guilt. Together, we’ll unpack when shame is helpful, when it becomes harmful, and how it quietly influences our decisions, relationships, and sense of self. Expect a space that’s thoughtful, grounded, and open, where complex ideas are made accessible, and where you can reflect on something that affects all of us more than we often realise.

羞耻感到底是什么？它有多频繁地左右我们的言行，甚至塑造我们想成为的样子？它明明深深影响着我们的人生选择，却又常常被大家误解。这场分享不只把羞耻感当作一种情绪，更把它看作一种内在心理力量。我们会探讨羞耻感从何而来、产生这种情绪时大脑会有哪些变化，适度的羞耻感是否有利于个人成长和人际交往，还是只会带来更多负面影响。

主讲人 Karli 从业于上海多家知名心理咨询机构，专业经验丰富。本次内容承接上月的情绪主题探讨，也为下月的愧疚感话题做铺垫。我们一起拆解羞耻感什么时候有正向作用、什么时候会造成内耗，看清它如何悄悄影响我们的抉择、人际关系和自我认知。整场交流氛围温和理性、包容开放，把复杂的心理概念讲得通俗易懂，也让你重新审视这个悄悄影响每个人的内心情绪。
