I've struggled with anxiety/depression for as long as I can remember. I believe it is an accumulation of shame built-up in my body/self. As a child I was like a sponge for shame. I was a "bad kid" raised in a shame-based environment. This is so helpful and gives me hope.

Thank you for sharing your experience. It means a lot to know my video resonated with you.

Shame can be inherited...passed down from generation to generation. Refuse the shame as it's passed down. You don't have to carry it. Mindfulness helped me. The book 30 Days to Overcome Shame by Harper Daniels was a help for me to heal.

I know this to be true. I am reading a book called The Soul of Shame.

This is incredibly valuable, content & insight, which,TBH, is rarely if ever properly diagnosed, acknowledged, and perhaps most importantly treated and/or healed. If & when toxic shame goes untreated, it can cause tremendous, undue pain & suffering which is made manifest in a wide range/ variety of ongoing challenges, issues and problems, that will plague one’s life, including many of the people around them, both personally and professionally. Quite frankly, it is an insidious, sneaky disorder or condition which oftentimes goes unaddressed, thus causing immeasurable & irreparable, undue harm. To put it another way most people don’t know they have it and they don’t know that they don’t know they have it which is why it is so injurious. More to the point, the healing process is both arduous and ongoing…. which underscores and reinforces just how crucial it is that CPTSD be properly identified and treated. Thank you!!!!!❤❤❤❤

Very helpful indeed... however, pride is not the opposite of shame - it is it's source. Tell me, what is the pride of a lion 's worth 🔥ADAMN!‼️ ...but yes, authentic pride would be nice
