The essence of shame can leave us feeling isolated and disconnected from those we love as well as ourselves and our bodies.  

Shame is when we believe we are fundamentally flawed. It is the emotion that is often at the core of not feeling like we belong in this world or we don't fit in. When we are operating from a place of shame, we are not living our lives based on our own compass rather the compass of others such as society, friends, family. We fear loosing love and connection and therefore not connecting in with what is ok and not ok for us as individuals but rather look externally for validation of how to live our lives.
