Healing Through the SHAME of Trauma

When we embrace the journey of trauma healing, we quickly encounter what could be called the "frontline enemy" - toxic shame. Even though other emotions can be very challenging, shame has a particularly toxic quality: it's intense, infectious, and insidious. It doesn't just affect one area of our lives; it wants to contaminate everything.

Understanding and confronting shame is absolutely critical because it disguises itself as a primary guard and protector, when in reality it keeps us stuck in traumatic pain.

I believe that the number one enemy that prevents heart healing of any kind, but especially trauma, is shame. It seeks to shape our thinking and our whole way of viewing life through a destructive lens. Shame drives us fear to hide. Shame erodes our sense of connection and keeps disconnection flooding our emotional and relational world. It makes what we’ve been through even MORE painful. And it will pitch a fit to keep you from embracing a healing journey.

Many feel stuck in traumatic pain and shame is one of the guards that keeps it there. But when compassion and grace open up, the whole picture of healing can open up in profound ways and I want to empower you to embrace it.
