Shame is toxic.
It centres our focus inward to the point of being unable to see anything around us.
This tunnel vision robs us of time and opportunity, gradually breaking down our relationships.
And once that all has happened, we are alone. Shame isolates us in an all-consuming way, trapping us in silence until the weight becomes unbearable.
The dismantling power against shame is courage. Courage to take a breath. To shift our gaze and look outward. To ask for help.
So, if you need help, please ask. You are worthy.
