How you see yourself impacts everything you do and everything you experience. The power of living an authentic life is in your ability to build a positive self-image. When you judge yourself as being less than or not enough, its impact can be obvious or subtle.
One of our first human emotions that come online when we are children is shame. According to Brené Brown, “Shame is the intensely painful feeling that somehow who we are or what we’ve done has made us unworthy of love and belonging.”
In therapy, I help you develop a positive self-image which requires that you understand shame and its impact on your life. It requires the ability to distinguish between healthy shame and toxic shame as well as the ability to build shame resilience. Together we will work on the issues that are driving the biggest amounts of shame in how you see your self-identity.
Being stuck in shame can impact your ability to go for what it is that you want. It can keep you from healthy relationships, satisfying careers, and positive friendships. Being stuck in shame can lead to anxiety and depression as well as addictions. Being stuck in shame creates a sense that no matter what you do. it won’t change your experience. I can feel overwhelming, exhausting, and debilitating.
Dealing with shame is a practice and a process. Shame can be challenging because it goes to the root of who you are and how you see yourself. It’s about challenging the beliefs and supporting you in building the courage to express those deep vulnerabilities that seem frightening to share.
In therapy, I create a relationship with you that is built on safety and acceptance that allows you to peel back the layers of shame that have accumulated over your life. Shame loves secrets and hiding so one of the best ways to transform shame is to bring it into the light. Together we will support you in becoming more self-aware about how to build a positive self-image that is the antidote to shame.
