Shame often operates in the background, subtly impacting our emotions, actions, and sense of belonging. Identifying its origins—particularly internalized critical voices from childhood—is the first step to reclaiming freedom and joy.
Shift from Proving to Expressing
Liberation from shame involves rejecting external validation and instead embracing natural impulses, self-expression, and living authentically in alignment with one’s deeper conscience.
