Shame Thrives in Secrecy
Shame has a way of flourishing in the shadows, feeding on secrecy and isolation. It convinces us that our struggles are flaws we must hide, trapping us in a cycle of silence and self-doubt. But when we open up about our discomfort—especially in the safe space of therapy—we shine a light on shame, diminishing its power. Sharing our experiences allows a therapist to validate our feelings, remind us of our resilience, and help us reframe mental health challenges not as failures, but as evidence of strength. Breaking the silence is a courageous step, one that paves the way for healing and growth.
