UNashamed

SHAME kept me stuck in trauma because I wouldn't ask for help, both because of my inner vow not to ask for help, the shame associated with my issues & the fear of rejection & abandonment if people saw the real me. It causes us to wear the "I'm fine!" mask even when deep down we're falling apart. I've been there & mastered that for most of my life. Only when the pain outweighs our shame will we be willing to deal with our issues.
