Shame as Sacred: Alarna Carlsson on Understanding the Role of Shame in Healing

In this powerful and deeply resonant episode, Kirsten is joined by Alarna Carlsson, the resident hypnotherapist of The Light Path Collective, for a conversation that reclaims shame as a vital—and even sacred—part of the healing journey.

Together, they unpack what shame actually is, how it shows up in our bodies and behaviours, and why it is not something to bypass or avoid — but instead, something to meet with compassion and curiosity.

Alarna shares her expert insights into how shame often guards the parts of us that long to be witnessed and integrated, and how hypnotherapy can gently help us uncover, reframe, and transform the stories that shame holds in place.

This episode will leave you feeling seen, soothed, and empowered to meet your healing with greater depth and humanity.

What we explore in this episode:

· What shame really is

· How shame can become a portal to deeper healing

· The difference between guilt and shame

· Why shame is so often at the root of self-sabotage and disconnection

· The sacred invitation that lives inside shame when we choose to meet it
