Murray and MUE... maybe this is easy for me to say... because I've only lived it in a very small way...
humiliation is defined as a painful loss of pride, self-respect, or dignity. Sometimes we need to realize that we have it backwards. In some people's cases, we are taking on someone else's shame. It is things that another person who did a bad thing to us should feel the shame and loss of dignity.
If someone broke into my house and stole my possessions, and i went to therapy for feeling unsafe in my house, should I have a loss of self respect or dignity? NO.
No one thinks someone going to chemo for cancer is shameful so why is getting help with our mental health any different?
just my thoughts...
