This is something I need an opinion on.
I suffer from shame from a particular event associated with a love interest.I acted like quite a different person at that time . Also I suffer from shame attacks from even remotely sexual like I can't watch porn or I can't see someone else suffer from humiliation. I recently figured out that I am a love addict and all the shame is my inner critic warning me about my love addiction. I finally could connect the dots by recognizing this.Does anyone else feel this is a valid reason for my shame attacks? Does this make sense? I just need some reassurance to move on. |

You've touched on the issue that is the main thing causing me debilitating problems in life.
I don't really know where to begin to address what you're going through. If you want to read my posts maybe you'll gain some insight. Did something happen to you sexually that affected you? For me, I had significant trauma that I think triggered this whole thing. Anyway, I haven't figured my issue out and am just trying to cope. If you'd like to discuss it more, I am here for you.

You are right.We do have similar issues. I am trying to get to the bottom of these shame attacks .I cannot find a therapist who is specializing in love addiction. What is your therapist take on your issues?? I feel like without getting to the bottom of these issues,I can never heal and I'm tired of feeling so shameful for little things. |

What do you mean by "love addict"? I used to be religious, and that was my source of shame. Are you religious in any chance (or used to be)?

Why is that? and what abandonment issues have anything to do with shame of watching porn?
