If you’ve been carrying a heaviness you can’t quite explain, this might be why.
As more information emerges about physicians connected to the Epstein files, many women physicians are noticing intense emotional responses—disgust, anger… and shame. In this episode, let's name something that’s rarely discussed: vicarious shame.
Three reasons to listen:
1. Understand the difference between shame, guilt, secondary shame, and vicarious shame.
2. Learn why you may be carrying shame that doesn’t belong to you.
3. Discover how naming and processing this emotion helps you let it go.
If this topic feels heavy but relevant, listen with care—and consider sharing it with another physician who may need language for what they’re feeling.
