Summary:
"Discover a proven pathway for transforming
shame
from a self-punishing emotion
into
a
powerful
ally
for your health and happiness. Why do we feel
shame
? Given
how
painful and destructive
shame
can be, it’s easy to see this emotion as an inner demon that turns our own mind against us. Yet
shame
is a universal emotion -- and it serves an important purpose. “While toxic
shame
can keep us stuck in a self-defeating vortex,” say Bret Lyon and Sheila Rubin, “there is a healthy expression of
shame
designed to protect us, help us change, and actually build our self-esteem.” With
Embracing
Shame
, these expert teachers share an invaluable guide to an emotion so volatile that most of us -- including therapists -- avoid talking about it. Here this husband and wife team, cofounders of the Center for Healing
Shame
, examine the dynamics of
shame
, the reasons it arises, why it causes such harm, and
how
we can heal its negative effects. Through case studies, creative tools, and body-based practices, they invite you to explore: • The purpose of
shame
--
How
it is meant to protect and guide us, and why it gets distorted
into
a self-sabotaging emotion •
How
shame
disguises itself by “binding” to other emotions -- and methods for disentangling these complex feelings • The ways
shame
forms in childhood, evolves as we grow, is impacted by trauma, and takes residence in the body • Practical guidance for regulating common shame-based challenges -- including the inner critic, imposter syndrome, perfectionism, intimacy in relationships, and much more. While no amount of self-talk, personal success, or therapy can eradicate
shame
, we can
transform
shame
into
the supportive, health-promoting force it was meant to be. Created as a go-to resource for laypersons and healing professionals alike,
Embracing
Shame
offers an achievable path for reclaiming the true potential of this vital emotion to help us grow, connect, and find a new confidence in the way we move through life."--Publisher.
