I've struggled with anxiety/depression for as long as I can remember. I believe it is an accumulation of shame built-up in my body/self. As a child I was like a sponge for shame. I was a "bad kid" raised in a shame-based environment. This is so helpful and gives me hope.
So many of us. I still feel it throughout my body. Though it doesn’t define me anymore it’s still there. I keep telling myself that feeling it without believing it is the process of healing it.
@@midlife.mysticsame here. I feel it come back real bad somedays but I try not to let it consume me like I used to. I have to actively fight it but it ends up being for the best.
Same too. And there is the fear of abandonment beneath the shame. I’m trying to touch that inner child who has never been loved, who have been still suffering from this pain. If my affection and love, desire to be authentic , That is all I want for this life.
Well said..Peter Levine explains it well. ...Have so far been unsuccessful in obtaining a competent mental health professional.. RUclips has outlined the process in another vid but I'm realizing I will need a guide out of this in my set of circumstances..🙏😊
Today, I start a new chapter in my life. No more shame, anxiety, and depression. I refuse to hold on to these feelings. Moving forward in life for me and my family! Thank you for this information.
It's inspiring to hear that you're taking such a positive step forward! Embracing a new chapter is a powerful move. Wishing you all the best on this journey!
Shame can be inherited...passed down from generation to generation. Refuse the shame as it's passed down. You don't have to carry it. Mindfulness helped me. The book 30 Days to Overcome Shame by Harper Daniels was a help for me to heal.
This is incredibly valuable, content & insight, which,TBH, is rarely if ever properly diagnosed, acknowledged, and perhaps most importantly treated and/or healed. If & when toxic shame goes untreated, it can cause tremendous, undue pain & suffering which is made manifest in a wide range/ variety of ongoing challenges, issues and problems, that will plague one’s life, including many of the people around them, both personally and professionally. Quite frankly, it is an insidious, sneaky disorder or condition which oftentimes goes unaddressed, thus causing immeasurable & irreparable, undue harm. To put it another way most people don’t know they have it and they don’t know that they don’t know they have it which is why it is so injurious. More to the point, the healing process is both arduous and ongoing…. which underscores and reinforces just how crucial it is that CPTSD be properly identified and treated. Thank you!!!!!❤❤❤❤
My father abandoned me as a baby and my mother raised me alone. My whole life I felt that I owed the universe, like it was a favor to be here. I took on a caring for others mentality. I went into healthcare and had kids and tried to give them everything I didn’t get. But I can’t lift the fog of depression. Sometimes I feel so bad I want my life to end
I'm sorry to hear about your struggles. It's important to remember that you are not alone and that there are people who care about you and want to help. Also, remember, reaching out for help is a sign of strength, not weakness.
I can't tell u how much I relate to u and wish I could hug and hold u and just fall tears with you! Sending you my love from afar! Sending my soul to yours tonight! ❤😢
I grew up in the same situation, and relate to every word you wrote. I am sorry you feel this way. You matter, you deserve to be here and you are worthy ❤
Hey, i don't know i have shame or not however i have many childhood memories where i felt ashamed, but i feel very compassionate and loving towards my inner child, i have cried looking myself at the mirror with compassion for how much i have been through and also cried lookinga at my childhood photos and going to my childhood memories and loving and being there for myself, but still i feel their is some shame around some situations, i feel i haven't fully accepted myself yet. Do u think i have toxic shame? And what should i do to from here? And what exactly is toxic shame?
Hi there, thank you very much for sharing this. It sounds like you've already done so much meaningful work to show compassion and love to your inner child. That deep care you have for yourself, even through tears, is so powerful. Toxic shame often comes from feelings or beliefs we carry that tell us we’re "not enough" or that something is wrong with us at our core. It’s a heavy feeling that can make self-acceptance challenging, even when we’re trying hard to show ourselves kindness.It’s possible there could be some lingering shame from past experiences, but it’s a good sign that you’re aware of it and wanting to work through it. Healing this kind of shame is a gradual process. It can really help to keep showing up for your inner child, practicing self-compassion, and maybe even exploring this with a therapist who understands inner child work.Remember, accepting ourselves fully can take time, but every step you take is progress. You’re already showing so much courage by looking inward and reaching out. Keep being gentle with yourself, you deserve it! ❤️ bless you and thanks again.
@yourinnerchildmatters Wow thank you so much. This is exactly what i needed to hear. Also your channel helped me a lot. I am so thankful for the information you provide and also for me to be kind to myself in tough situations.
You're absolutely right! Betrayal can have deep roots, and it's important to examine how it affects us. Thank you for sharing your thoughts on such an important topic!
Thank you for sharing this question. Letting go of shame is hard, but it can help to forgive yourself and make things right if you can. Talking to the person, apologizing, or even just learning from it can bring peace. Remember, we all make mistakes and grow from them. ❤ Take care and bless you
Recovery can be a challenging journey, but taking small, consistent steps can really help. Consider reaching out to friends or professionals who can support you along the way!
Very helpful indeed... however, pride is not the opposite of shame - it is it's source. Tell me, what is the pride of a lion 's worth 🔥ADAMN!‼️ ...but yes, authentic pride would be nice

What do you do to rid you of the shame of something you’ve done to another
Thank you for sharing this question. Letting go of shame is hard, but it can help to forgive yourself and make things right if you can. Talking to the person, apologizing, or even just learning from it can bring peace. Remember, we all make mistakes and grow from them. ❤ Take care and bless you
Please don't ask me to use 'pride'. I can't do that. That is too much. Too selfish in my head.
How can I recover
Recovery can be a challenging journey, but taking small, consistent steps can really help. Consider reaching out to friends or professionals who can support you along the way!
Very helpful indeed... however, pride is not the opposite of shame - it is it's source. Tell me, what is the pride of a lion 's worth 🔥ADAMN!‼️
...but yes, authentic pride would be nice
Thank you so much for your kind words and for for taking the time watching the video! ❤️💖
It would have been better without the music, it really distracts from his narrative.
I appreciate your feedback! The music was meant to enhance the atmosphere, but I understand how it can be distracting for some.
Like getting disphellowshipped from a religion like the jehovahs witnesses
It can be tough to feel disconnected from a community you were once a part of.
