Katt was having a serious problem at work that had been plaguing her for years. Every time she made a perfectly reasonable mistake, shame kicked in. Very often, it snowballed into defensiveness and despair, causing her more hardship than the original mistake and often damaging her relationship with her boss.
The worst thing about this pattern is that it was affecting her ability to move ahead in her career. She had been wanting to move up by seeking employment at another company, but the insecurities around this issue were keeping her from feeling confident in her job search. This shame around making mistakes was keeping Katt stuck in a dead-end job.
In the space of three sessions over the telephone, over a single weekend, we mapped and liberated a full set of nine feelings. The results were astonishing, and a great example of what is possible in the Tangible Minds work.
Immediately below is an overview of all the feelings we mapped on the left, with the liberated feelings on the right. Click any feeling name or image to go to a detail page for that feeling-state.
