Embarrassed to death: The cost of shame’s silence | Merrill Black | TEDxPortsmouth

[@rolandsalazarrose1622]

One of the finest statements on substance abuse and human relationships I have heard in years.

[@leesl]

You are a brave woman. Thank you for sharing your story with all of us.

[@transcendmind]

This story validated my experiences facing and sharing my own shameful and humiliating secrets. My life really started to turn around for the better when I stopped trying to create a personality that denied the truth of my secrets. And every time I hear stories like this, they reinforce my journey forward, because they let me know that I'm still on the right path in spite of having more years of healing to go. ❤️💯❤️

The magic words of your comment are “stopped trying.“

[@shantagees9425]

Thank you for this. I feel exactly the same way after my secrets of addiction just ruined my life but I am still here.

[@BigD12396]

I’m glad I was corrected by a good therapist I once saw; I claimed depression and mental ill health were caused by the way we think- essentially that alone and nothing else. “No, adversity”. Pure and simple, it is the slings and arrows. How could one think otherwise, listening to this?

[@sebastienmorand2479]

Waw, you offer so much hope for people with mental health problems.
