3 quotes from Healing the Shame that Binds You

• "Shame is the most powerful, master emotion. It’s the emotion that hides behind all others. It’s what we think we are and what we think we should be and we can never measure up to what we think we should be."
• "The antidote to shame is to become conscious of it, to recognize it, and to understand it as part of the human experience rather than the definition of ourselves."
• "Healing shame involves recognizing the difference between guilt (I did something bad) and shame (I am bad). Only through nurturing self-compassion can we begin to heal from the shame that binds us."
