I often see in my practice how deeply shame can affect our lives – a nagging sense of self-blame that makes us feel like we’re never quite good enough. That’s why I wanted to share a book I’ve found incredibly insightful: “Unlearning Shame: How We Can Reject Self-Blame Culture and Reclaim Our Power” by Devon Price.
Price explores how shame isn’t just a personal feeling but also something that’s woven into the very fabric of our society. They examine how systemic shame operates in everything from our individual struggles to larger issues like inequality and injustice. What I appreciate most about this book is that it doesn’t just stop at identifying the problem. Price offers a hopeful perspective and practical tools to help us cultivate self-acceptance, connect with others and start to heal from the effects of shame.
If you’re interested in exploring these ideas further, I highly recommend picking up a copy. If you are look It could be a powerful tool to support the work we do together.
