Description

“In this astute work, David Bedrick provides a deep investigation of shame, the most debilitating of our mind states, and offers a workable, practice-based, and accessible path to divesting ourselves from it.”
—Gabor Maté, MD, New York Times best-selling author of In the Realm of Hungry Ghosts

An empowering, stigma-free approach to dismantling shame—a trauma-informed guide to restoring our authentic self

Shame affects us all…often in ways we might not expect.

Author, mental health expert, and professor David Bedrick helps us understand how shame shows up—and offers a revolutionary, stigma-free model to help us unshame and release its hold on our happiness.

Shame is more than feeling guilty, sad, or responsible. It develops when we experience a trauma but can’t access the tools or freedom to express how we feel—or are denied the ability to ask for the care we need. It shows up when we aren’t witnessed—whether by a loved one, our community, our culture, or anyone from whom we need to hear:whatever happened to you, these parts of you that you think are unlovable or wrong—you’re not broken. I see you.
