When a child's primary caregivers are unable to notice, accept, and respond appropriately to a need or emotion of the child, normal shame helps a child to pull back from the need or emotion for protection. If this happens often enough or is traumatic enough, the childs' need or emotion becomes bound up in shame and can be lost to the child.
Peace,
