Shame? Try this...

Shame is one of those trickier challenges because it's so pervasive. It can drive the way we approach (or shrink from) relationships, it can fuel anxiety, pose a threat to our career, and it can erode our self-esteem.

There is no quick fix for shame, but, over the years as a psychotherapist, I have found that my clients find the Loving Kindness Meditation to be an extremely useful approach to shame.

I hope you find this useful. Let me know what you make of it.
