We established a long time ago that shame is not a good thing. However, sometimes it just needs to be acknowledged as true. Today I had a very difficult experience with a client, that she was owning how she has been shamed based or so filled with shame her entire life. It has created patterns that have continued to this very day, and has been devastating in every part of her life, because she was never really present, because she was so filled with shame. And it modified all of her behavior, how she felt about herself, how she felt others felt about her, and what she thought about the world. And so she was never really fully present today, as she was acknowledging that shame, based on past experiences of her childhood. And as he was a young woman, she wept so hard, letting go of that shame, acknowledging that she didn't need to hold on to it. And it was about how others had treated her and how she had allowed and owned that shame to modify how she believed she's moving toward being her perfect self. We are perfect and whole already on the inside. But often, we have to do the work, which is called Dark work or deep work, letting go of that shame that's on the inside of us. Sometimes the only way that shame can go away is to cry about it, and to let the emotion show up. Once that shame is let go of it never returns again. Now the exciting part is, is that I am sure she's going to be really doing well in the next few months as we work through the patterns that have been established because of her shame. And I love you. I'm Dan Clark.
