Shame is the little voice inside your head telling you you’re not good enough. It is a difficult emotion to escape. When we experience shame around a circumstance in our lives, it triggers a feeling of being somehow “different” or “damaged.” So we hide our shame. But, you are not alone. Only relationships and empathy can truly help you expose your vulnerabilities and move forward to a place of healing.
