Shame often triggers discomfort for individuals, both in themselves and in others. While it may be instinctive to combat feelings of shame by offering affirmations that dismiss its legitimacy, true healing lies in allowing shame to simply exist. This approach involves creating a space where individuals can authentically experience their shame without the immediate pressure to justify their worthiness through accomplishments or positive affirmations. Recognizing that feelings of unworthiness don't make someone a bad person is crucial; rather, these emotions should be acknowledged and felt fully. The aim is to understand that shame is painful yet not inherently unsafe, thereby fostering genuine self-acceptance and resilience.
