Shame is a natural, normal human emotion and serves us as a socialization tool. Our discomfort with the word shame comes from at least two sources. The first is that the experience of shame can be very painful. The second source of discomfort with the word is that we have been taught to feel ashamed of our shame and we have concluded that if we feel shame there must be something wrong with us. This isn't true but it does take time and work to change our brains and our minds about this.
Peace,
