I've struggled with anxiety/depression for as long as I can remember. I believe it is an accumulation of shame built-up in my body/self. As a child I was like a sponge for shame. I was a "bad kid" raised in a shame-based environment. This is so helpful and gives me hope.

[gloriasilva]

Today, I start a new chapter in my life. No more shame, anxiety, and depression. I refuse to hold on to these feelings. Moving forward in life for me and my family! Thank you for this information.

Shame can be inherited...passed down from generation to generation. Refuse the shame as it's passed down. You don't have to carry it. Mindfulness helped me. The book 30 Days to Overcome Shame by Harper Daniels was a help for me to heal.

This is incredibly valuable, content & insight, which, TBH, is rarely if ever properly diagnosed, acknowledged, and perhaps most importantly treated and/or healed.
If & when toxic shame goes untreated, it can cause tremendous, undue pain & suffering which is made manifest in a wide range/ variety of ongoing challenges, issues and problems, that will plague one’s life, including many of the people around them, both personally and professionally. Quite frankly, it is an insidious, sneaky disorder or condition which oftentimes goes unaddressed, thus causing immeasurable & irreparable, undue harm. To put it another way most people don’t know they have it and they don’t know that they don’t know they have it which is why it is so injurious. More to the point, the healing process is both arduous and ongoing…. which underscores and reinforces just how crucial it is that CPTSD be properly identified and treated. Thank

My father abandoned me as a baby and my mother raised me alone. My whole life I felt that I owed the universe, like it was a favor to be here. I took on a caring for others mentality. I went into healthcare and had kids and tried to give them everything I didn’t get. But I can’t lift the fog of depression. Sometimes I feel so bad I want my life to end

[ianmack]

This was powerful enough to make me cry ❤ God bless

[nishasankaran]

I love this man. And is it weird to say that he’s the kind of person that has love for all of us too? Well anyways, I choose to think so ✨

Wow really good, in the last few months I realised shame was just a constant feeling all the time. Childhood abuse. I ran from it my whole life, tried to reason with it, fight it, take on so much work and hobbies so I could never notice it, nothing worked. Then a few weeks ago I decided to let myself feel it, explore what I was feeling shamed about and I reframed it. Realising I don't sit around remembering the stupid things people do and that they wouldn't be remembering these events causing me deep shame either was a first revelation, then realising even if they did they had also done similar stupid things so who are they to judge, and as for the childhood abuse, well that really was the parents issue. I'm sure there's more work to do, but I feel so much lighter, I've cut my mother off, but I realise i might also need to cut off the sister and father as they were enablers and I just noticed how my body tenses up and feels anxious when they are around. I don't want to but maybe I just need to. I never thought I'd ever get on top of that constant shame feeling in my body, a relic from narcicisstic programming, but maybe I can. this is a great video.

Sometimes I still feel all the sadness stuck inside of me

I know this to be true. I am reading a book called The Soul of Shame.

Very helpful indeed... however, pride is not the opposite of shame - it is it's source. Tell me, what is the pride of a lion 's worth 🔥ADAMN!‼️
...but yes, authentic pride would be nice

[stevezornes]

Please don't ask me to use 'pride'. I can't do that. That is too much. Too selfish in my head.
