Do you feel, think, and behave the same way around other people as you do when you are alone?
Or do you feel the need to pretend, to play a role and act very differently than normal?
This behavior could be a result of toxic shame, that may hold back your true authentic self and chains you to an exhausting role-play you have to perform on a daily basis.
Especially insecurely attached people and CPTSD survivors are often affected by toxic shame.
But, they are often not aware, that they behave out of a shame-bound self and identity.
This is why, in today’s episode, we will explore and understand what toxic shame actually is.
I will share 5 typical signs of toxic shame with you.
And in the end, I will give you a 3-step solution plan on how you can finally break that cycle of toxic shame and start healing your wounds.
