I think it can definitely be a goal. Shame is something I deal with as well. I just told my T yesterday that something he'd said a few months ago brought up shame in me, and I felt worried about bringing up the topic that led to that comment again. So we talked a bit about where the shame came from, which involved messages I'd gotten from my mom. I feel those sorts of discussions are a part of the bigger picture of therapy for me, but I see how it could be a main focus, too. Particularly because you said it affects you daily.

What did your T say when you gave that answer?
