Do you ever get feelings of shame? How do you deal with it?

CLEAR ALL
Shame is a social emotion with a distinct purpose in every society. Bret Lyon and Sheila Rubin, the Co-Directors for the Center for Healing Shame share how shame is actually designed to help us.
Shame is perhaps the most painful of all emotions. It is at the root of both the inner critic and perfectionism. It binds with and hides behind other emotions, such as anger and fear, so that it is often hard to detect. Shame cannot be worked with in the same way as the other primary emotions.
Brett Lyon, PhD, SEP, and Sheila Rubin, MA, LMFT, RDT/BCT, are the founders of the Center for Healing Shame and co-creators of the Healing Shame Lyon-Rubin Method.
