How does toxic shame feel like?

- It’s when you are around people, and you feel a strong resistance when trying to be yourself.

- It’s when you deep inside don’t feel good enough.

- It’s when you can’t look yourself in the eye in the mirror.

- It’s when you feel disgusted by yourself, feel not lovable, wrong and just want to disappear.

Toxic shame is a heavy topic and I warn you, this video can be very overwhelming for some of you.

But, at the same time, shame in complex trauma is also very poorly understood.

This is why today I’d like to reveal how it feels like, where it comes from, how it influences every aspect of your life and ideas, how to manage toxic shame.
