250 - Shame-bound need to nurture others.

As children we sometimes wanted to nurture someone else, parent, etc.. If these attempts to nurture were repeatedly met with rejection, ridicule, and shame the need to nurture would in time become bound up in shame and as adults we would have great difficulty nurturing others because shame would be a barrier to doing so. In this case even to feel the desire to nurture another person would trigger shame for us.
Peace,
