Shame thrives in secrecy from "summary" of Daring Greatly by Brene Brown
Shame is a powerful emotion that can greatly impact our lives if left unaddressed. When we keep our feelings of shame hidden and do not share them with others, they have a way of growing and festering in the darkness. This secrecy only serves to fuel the shame, making it even more potent and all-consuming. By keeping our shame to ourselves, we are essentially allowing it to take control of our thoughts and behaviors. We become prisoners to our shame, unable to break free from its suffocating grip. This isolation only serves to deepen our feelings of unworthiness and inadequacy, creating a cycle of shame that can be difficult to escape. However, when we choose to shine a light on our shame by sharing it with others, we take away its power. By opening up about our feelings of shame and vulnerability, we allow ourselves to be seen and heard in a way that is both healing and liberating. This act of courage and vulnerability can help to break the cycle of shame, allowing us to move forward with greater self-compassion and authenticity. When we share our shame with others, we create connections that are based on empathy and understanding. We allow ourselves to be truly seen and accepted, flaws and all. This sense of belonging and acceptance can help to counteract the feelings of shame and unworthiness that have been holding us back. In order to truly break free from the grip of shame, we must be willing to be vulnerable and open with others. It is only through this act of courage and connection that we can begin to heal the wounds that shame has inflicted upon us. By shining a light on our shame and sharing it with others, we can begin to cultivate a sense of self-compassion and acceptance that allows us to live wholeheartedly.
