Lesson: Guilt
Listen to the guided audio on Fear. You can also download it for offline listening.
Guilt
Only a good person feels guilt.
Make a distinction between true guilt and false guilt.
Here's How:
- Turn Shame to Guilt
- Question if Guilt is Warranted
- Take on the Responsibility
Here's Why:
- If shame is the story of hiding, Guilt is the story of fault.
Six types of guilt:
i. Negligence guilt
ii. Overestimation of control guilt
iii. Pleasure guilt
iv. Survivor guilt
v. Self-Blame guilt
vi. Innocent-bystander guilt
(Hat Tip to Jamie Lusk)
- The main thing is to make a distinction between true guilt and false guilt. False guilt makes us self-critical and self-punishing.
- We move from Freedom to Responsibility, and then to a land of Adventure.
