Shame. Say the word out loud and feel its intense power. The root of the word shame is thought to come from an older word meaning to cover, as in covering oneself. When we feel shame, we cover ourselves, literally and figuratively. We want to hide from ourselves and others. The lengths we will go to cover and hide our shame can keep us from ever fully living life. It is hard to be happy, healthy and feel peaceful while carrying the ball and chain of shame. In this episode, Ted discusses what shame is, how we can tell if we are impacted by shame, and what we can do about it. If you feel that you are tied up and a prisoner of shame, listen to this episode. TedinYourHead.com
