Life is not a glossy Instagram post; in reality, it is full of the mistakes and misses that give existence just a little color. During this evening, therefore, we will go The Shame Beyond. A kiss that accidentally lands on someone’s ear, an embarrassing stumble on the street or having someone else park the car because you can’t do it yourself. Each week, journalists Elke van Boxmeer and Thomas van Zijl talk about shame and discomfort in the Schaamjekapodcast. On this special evening in PAARD, they will be joined by psychologist Thijs Launspach. He will give a mini-lecture on the workings of our brain and teach us why people sometimes do the strangest things. On September 2, they can be seen in PAARD.
