For a low or moderate level of shame I suggest you say "Right now I'm feeling shame." in order to diminish the shame some. By feeling, acknowledging and accepting the shame a little healing will have taken place. Every bit of shame we experience today, although painful, is another opportunity to heal some more. And it doesn't mean there is something wrong with you.
Peace,
Ken

We must feel it to heal it...that is the hard part for me. However, I have shame in just reading this, but hopeful too once I get past the shame. So I said, "Right now I am feeling shame in reading this." Hopeful in healing more shame...thanks
ReplyDeleteDid you feel the shame moving a little after saying the phrase?
ReplyDeleteYes the shame did move into healing a little bit for me. It always amazes me how much shame continues to float around inside of me. Ubiquitous!
