37 | Enough Shame Already! Begin Healing With These Tips

Hey, Sister-friend 👋🏽

Let’s talk about shame. By its very nature, no one wants to explore shame because it means looking at something that does not feel good. Today, we are going to talk about it because it keeps so many women hostage and unable to live out their God-given purpose. Let’s unpack what it is, how it develops, and how to heal from it.

Shame is a complex emotion because it involves feelings like unworthiness, humiliation, inadequacy, and even disgrace. It is different from guilt. Typically, people feel guilty when they do something that goes against their values, a moral code, or ethical standards. Shame, on the other hand, causes the person to feel defective or a failure. 

Guilt says, “I’ve done something bad or wrong, but shame says I am bad, and there’s something wrong with me.”

Shame stays with trauma survivors like a dark cloud that shows up everywhere they go. It feels heavy; it’s always whispering lies and feeding you with negative self-talk about your worth and your identity. It just does not go away, and that in itself is emotionally draining.

I will share the environments shame needs to thrive and how to begin healing from your emotions of shame.

 

I hope this episode blesses you.

 

In Healing and Love 😊
