I've struggled with anxiety/depression for as long as I can remember. I believe it is an accumulation of shame built-up in my body/self. As a child I was like a sponge for shame. I was a "bad kid" raised in a shame-based environment. This is so helpful and gives me hope.

[@yourinnerchildmatters]

Thank you for sharing your experience. It means a lot to know my video resonated with you.

So many of us. I still feel it throughout my body. Though it doesn’t define me anymore it’s still there. I keep telling myself that feeling it without believing it is the process of healing it.

[@sunset33533]

Shame can be inherited...passed down from generation to generation. Refuse the shame as it's passed down. You don't have to carry it. Mindfulness helped me. The book 30 Days to Overcome Shame by Harper Daniels was a help for me to heal.

[@yourinnerchildmatters]

Thank you so much for taking the time watching the video and for sharing your insights! ✨💖🙏

[@Kiki.to.pono_46789]

This is so true, shame is inherited

[@Jo49jo]

My father abandoned me as a baby and my mother raised me alone. My whole life I felt that I owed the universe, like it was a favor to be here. I took on a caring for others mentality. I went into healthcare and had kids and tried to give them everything I didn’t get. But I can’t lift the fog of depression. Sometimes I feel so bad I want my life to end

[@yourinnerchildmatters]

I'm sorry to hear about your struggles. It's important to remember that you are not alone and that there are people who care about you and want to help. Also, remember, reaching out for help is a sign of strength, not weakness.

I can't tell u how much I relate to u and wish I could hug and hold u and just fall tears with you! Sending you my love from afar! Sending my soul to yours tonight! ❤😢

This is incredibly valuable, content & insight, which,TBH, is rarely if ever properly diagnosed, acknowledged, and perhaps most importantly treated and/or healed.
If & when toxic shame goes untreated, it can cause tremendous, undue pain & suffering which is made manifest in a wide range/ variety of ongoing challenges, issues and problems, that will plague one’s life, including many of the people around them, both personally and professionally. Quite frankly, it is an insidious, sneaky disorder or condition which oftentimes goes unaddressed, thus causing immeasurable & irreparable, undue harm. To put it another way most people don’t know they have it and they don’t know that they don’t know they have it which is why it is so injurious. More to the point, the healing process is both arduous and ongoing…. which underscores and reinforces just how crucial it is that CPTSD be properly identified and treated. Thank you!!!!!❤❤❤❤

[@yourinnerchildmatters]

Thank you for your thoughtful comment and for recognizing the importance of addressing toxic shame and CPTSD.

Sometimes I still feel all the sadness stuck inside of me

[@yourinnerchildmatters]

It's okay to feel sad sometimes, just remember to take care of yourself and reach out for support if you need it.

Very helpful indeed... however, pride is not the opposite of shame - it is it's source. Tell me, what is the pride of a lion 's worth 🔥ADAMN!‼️
...but yes, authentic pride would be nice
