Healing the Shame That Binds You

Book • 1988
This book explores how toxic shame is the core motivator behind various toxic behaviors such as compulsion, co-dependency, addiction, and the drive to superachieve.

It explains how these behaviors can break down family systems and destroy personal lives.

Bradshaw provides techniques to identify, understand, and address the root causes of shame, and offers methods such as affirmations, visualizations, 'inner voice' and 'feeling' work, and guided meditations to release and heal from this shame.

The book emphasizes the importance of recognizing and working through internalized shame to achieve wholeness and well-being.
