Shame is the underpinning of almost all distress, almost all emotional issues, almost all reluctance to claim your life fully. Knowing this, then you know that there is something you can do about it. Shame is what holds us back from self care, from discovering who we are and living it, from having boundaries around how we will interact with others. Releasing shame allows going from being a sheep to someone making their own decisions, who automatically lives with meaning and purpose. More than a glass half full, there is no glass. No external measure of goodness because it is all good. Sounds too good to be true? Walk with me through the shaming going on around us every day all day. See it for what it is so you can stop joining in. Stop shaming, refuse to be shamed, stop gossiping, stop criticizing. Instead seeing, and deciding the best course of action. And doing it. First we all need to rip ourselves loose from the control this dreadful emotion has on us. This book shows you the hundreds of ways shame influences our lives, and every one else's. The second section then walks through the process of healing ourselves from the harm caused. Shame can be put in its place, seen for what it is, and released from our cells.
