How Do You Overcome Your Own Internal Shame?

There’s a lot of talk about shame happening in the world today, which is good news that more and more people feel comfortable talking about it, but why does shame occur? Shame is something that shuts people down and makes people not allowed to grow in the ways that they need to. It keeps them paralyzed in a prison that they seemingly are unable to control.    There are three factors to why shame is occurring. The experience is being dismissed, denied, or being gaslit by the listener. When shame is internalized and turns toxic, it can affect your self-esteem, your wellbeing, and all aspects of your relationships. Shame itself is a negative thought process about yourself and it can be rooted in an insecure family attachment style where you feel safe and abandoned at the same time.    How can you work through shame? By talking about it! If you remain silent on the issue, your shame will be stuck with you and there will be no growth. Although it can be incredibly difficult to talk about shame, if you just avoid it or try to distract yourself from it, the problem will only get worse.    Continue Your Growth Journey: Kaminiwood.com
