Hi everyone,

After spending quite some reading and introspection, I decided to comparmentalize and deal with every issue I think I have alone. just focusing on one issue at a time and try my best to address it and heal it if possible.

This is why I decided shame, more specifically Toxic shame as described by Jhon Bradhaw, is my utmost priority. The Psycology of Shame by Gershen Kaufman Im currently reading is maybe a very deep book that handles shame as a state of being. I found the book to be so deep, and sometimes disturbing, because of its heavy psycoanalytic approach. However it lays the foundation of the shame spiral and why we feel most of the time worthless and inherently defective.

I found the book to be sometimes difficult to read, and I had to focus a lot and go through it very slowly to understand it. I don't know if any of you guys have read it before, Im really looking forward to exchange some thoughts and discussions on this seminal book about shame.

Thanks a lot
