I was talking to T about shame and one of the things I reluctantly mentioned was that I struggle with basic hygiene. After many years, I have settled on a routine I can live with. I shower M, W & F and S if I'm going to church.

T was kind, understanding and non-judgmental (unlike me) and said it was very common in certain subsets of clients.

If you have similar issues, what is the number 1 reason?
