Shame in therapy is very common. After years back my therapist and I discussed my fear and shame. My fear if being too much stemmed from my abandonment from my father. My shame was related to fear of being judged. She explained that really my fear of judgment was because I judge myself so harshly and expect everybody else to. it was a lightbulb moment for me. It has been only recently and with my current therapist that I truly understand what she meant.
