Shame

Whatever is begun in anger, ends in shame.

~Benjamin Franklin

Noted author and shame researcher, Brene Brown, defines

shame as, “the intensely painful feeling that we are unworthy of

love and belonging.” Shame exacerbates many other negaAve
emoAons, and thrives on secrecy and feeling alone. Not

surprisingly, shame is healed by disclosure and empathy.

Keep the shadows in front of

you because they can only take
you down from behind.
