If you are swimming in shame, YOU need some help finding your vulnerability and compassion for yourself. Reclaim your childhood. Shame has a tendency to well up around parenting attachment challenged children. They have difficulty accepting parenting and we have difficulty accepting that it isn’t our fault. The shame doesn’t come directly from parenting. Likely it has been there all along, from childhood. It just gets big and overwhelming when children are added to the mix.
If this sounds like YOU, check out a little reading. Brene Brown is my favorite. She has a blog (doesn’t everyone have a blog?) YOU can watch her on TED (not everyone has a TED Talk.) Read her book. Go to a local workshop based on her work. Join a support group based on Daring Greatly (her book.) She is all the rage. YOU could be part of a movement.
Get a little inspiration here:
YOU can go to therapy, buy a workbook, find a 12-step. What YOU probably ought to avoid? Avoidance.
Because Love Matters,
YOU Still Matter.
