How to Deal With Shame

"I absolutely have moments where it gets really, really, really big," she said. "The shame only gets worse when it's living just in my head and it somehow it chills out once I say it out loud to someone else or even out loud to myself by giving it the voice" She added: "Shame breeds in secrecy and silence. It loves the secret."

I absolutely have moments where it gets really, really, really big and honestly I try to write that helps me the most as I write or I like reach out to a close friend and just talk about it. Those are the things I do that help me with my shame because I'm not going to sit here and say I don't have any. I do still have it, but it just feels more manageable when you either for me share about it in my art or share about it with someone I trust or like share about it to myself.

in secrecy and silence. Yeah. It loves the secret. It's bigger. Yeah. It's bigger and bigger and once you say it, there's something about it watching someone else hear you and see you and allow for whatever you're shameful about and you realize you live through telling someone about your shame. Yeah, you're still here. Then it like it helps it just not feel as massive.
