Shame is crippling to the human spirit and one of the most uncomfortable feelings we can feel. In other words, where there is hiding, secrets, and denial, shame is usually in the driver’s seat. Most of us don’t want to be seen as a drag or “bad,” so when the choice is between A) be brave and honest or B) pretend like everything is going great, we might be tempted to adopt the latter.Īuthor and researcher Brené Brown teaches in several of her books, presentations, and interviews that the energy source of shame is silence, secrecy, and judgment.
