In this, my third blog on shame I look at the difference ways we experience our shame and how we can feed it. I explore how we can reduce the impact of our shame, and even though it may still lurk waiting to be triggered, we can ensure it no longer has any power us and doesn’t prevent us from being all we can be.

In this second blog on shame, I explore different ways people cope with their shame. Our response can be so embedded and habitual that we are not aware of our shame. In contrast shame can be so present in our lives it can feel like a constant unwanted companion which never leaves us. I look at some of the different ways we cope with shame and how it can affect our relationship with ourselves and with others.

Shame is something that many of us face on a day-to-day basis, yet we don't talk about it. In this initial blog on shame, I cover an overview of shame, and how we can identify it. I see that taking the energy out of our shame as an essential part of the journey of self-acceptance and being the person, we want to be and can be.
