! Very good post !....Mouse...

I hope it helps to understand...I figure shame..in what ever form it takes..can transform once it is shared, and shown the light of reason in a compassionate way..you cant heal shame with shame..

It's like feeding baby chicks spoon fulls of dirt just because you see them pecking at the ground..

I know as a Survivor of childhood sexual abuse, I have had to learn that in my Therapy..but it is so very hard to do..I keep feeling a need to feed the most vulnerable parts of me spoonfulls of shame in the form of self judgemental thinking....not understanding in the end I am suffocating myself in the process.....

Thank you for sharing Mouse..
