Our need for relationships with others in which we feel loved and wanted is a very basic human need. One strong source of shame is when a child doesn't experience this kind of relationship but rather one of emotional abandonment. This shame becomes internalized when the child has no way to process or share their shame and have it heard or accepted. No blame. This internalized shame makes relationships as adults very difficult. The process of healing shame will have the effect of improving our relationships.
Peace,
