About Shame
Dr. Gabor Maté's message about shame is so important to be shared...
"We have an expression in English that says "you should be ashamed of yourself".
Well, examine that for a moment. Should anybody be ashamed of their selves?
I might be ashamed of what I did [...] but that's not a shame about the self, it's a shame of something that I've done. That's a good thing to own.
Yes I did that, it's my responsibility. I can't deny that. But that's not the same as being ashamed of one's self.
Nobody should be ashamed of ones's self and there's a distinction between being ashamed of what you do, what you've done and who you are."
