An empowering, stigma-free approach to dismantling shamea trauma-informed guide to restoring our authentic self
Shame affects us alloften in ways we might not expect.
Author, mental health expert, and professor David Bedrick helps us understand how shame shows upand offers a revolutionary, stigma-free model to help us unshame and release its hold on our happiness.
Shame is more than feeling guilty, sad, or responsible. It develops when we experience a trauma but cant access the tools or freedom to express how we feelor are denied the ability to ask for the care we need. It shows up when we arent witnessedwhether by a loved one, our community, our culture, or anyone from whom we need to hear: whatever happened to you, these parts of you that you think are unlovable or wrongyoure not broken. I see you.
Bedrick helps readers bring shame out of the shadows, inviting us to get to know it and listen to its wisdom without minimizing our traumas or pathologizing our experiences. He helps us move from seeing shame as a feeling toward holding it as an internal viewpointand offers us practical tools and exercises to dismantle the narratives that hold us back from living our lives whole, free, and in alignment with our most authentic selves.
