Shame is a challenge that a lot of people struggle with. The important thing to work on is self forgiveness and developing an understanding that there is simply no such thing as "perfect". Also, if part of the shame comes from a parent that simply did not "value" you the way you needed, that was something that parent did not know how to do and has nothing to do with you or your value or worthiness.
