Just listened to the recording from the Life Circles course on Shame.

I see it so clearly in myself and many of the clients I work with and my question is: is it possible that instead of hiding out one puts on the mask of success, becomes very public around the shame issue?

For example: (and I may as well be transparent here 😉) my shame says that I am ugly  ( to use one of your examples), but instead of hiding out in that shame and going into hiding, playing small, minimizing,  I do everything I can to never allow anyone to know that – become a personal trainer/workout coach, run a Wellness Center where nutrition, mindfulness, fasting programs are taught, learn tips and tricks for aging around skin care, style, etc. 

Underneath all of that though I see a belief that I am ugly, fat, do not have an attractive body/appearance.

Thanks for your time and for your dedication to this Work – it is setting us Free.
