Understanding Shame
Shame is a universal emotion, often triggered by a feeling of not being good enough.
It is deeply personal and can influence our behavior and relationships.
Understanding its origin and impact is the first step towards overcoming it.
The Power of Connection
Connection is a fundamental human need.
It is the ability to empathize, belong and love.
When we feel connected to others, we are more resilient to shame.
Overcoming Shame
Overcoming shame involves recognizing it, understanding its triggers, practicing critical awareness, reaching out to others, and speaking about it.
It’s a journey of self-discovery and growth.
The Practice of Gratitude
Gratitude is a powerful practice that can help us recognize our worthiness.
It shifts our focus from what we lack to what we have and fosters a sense of abundance.
