Download or read book Shame Guilt written by Jane Middelton-Moz and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2020-08-30 with total page 143 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "It is my feeling that debilitating shame and guilt are at the root of all dysfunctions in families,” says Jane Middelton-Moz. A few common characteristics of adults shamed in childhood: You may suffer extreme shyness, embarrassment and feelings of being inferior to others. You don’t believe you make mistakes, you believe you are a mistake. You feel controlled from the outside and from within. You feel that normal spontaneous expression is blocked. You may suffer from debilitating guilt; you apologize constantly. You have little sense of emotional boundaries; you feel constantly violated by others; you frequently build false boundaries. If you see yourself in any of these characteristics, you can learn how shame keeps you from being the person you were born to be and how to change that. Shame And Guilt describes how debilitating shame is created and fostered in childhood and how it manifests itself in adulthood and in intimate relationships. Through the use of myths and fairytales to portray different shaming environments, Dr. Middelton-Moz allows you to reach the shamed child within you and to add clarity to what could be difficult concepts. Read Shame and Guilt — you’re worth it.

Download or read book Shame Off You written by Denise Pass and published by Abingdon Press. This book was released on 2018-08-21 with total page 246 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.” — Romans 8:1 Shame is an assault on the core of who we are. It assassinates our character, minimizes our worth, and dashes our hope. Like Adam and Eve, we often hide shame, but hiding never heals it. Left unattended, shame can develop into a crippling reality that paralyzes us. Like an infectious disease, shame impacts everyone . . . but not all shame is bad. Shame can either be an oppressive and powerful tool of worldly condemnation or a source of conviction that God uses to bring his people back to himself. Having the discernment to know the difference and recognize shame in its many forms can change the course of one’s life. In a transparently honest style, Pass shares of her experience dealing with shame after learning that her former husband was a sexual offender. Having lived through the aftermath, she leads you into God’s Word where you will see for yourself that God is bigger than your pain, shame, mistakes, and limitations. Shame Off You shares how freedom can be found in choosing to break the cycle of shame by learning from the past, developing healthy thinking patterns, silencing lies, and overcoming the traps of vanity and other people's opinions.
Download or read book Shame and Pride written by Donald L. Nathanson and published by W. W. Norton & Company. This book was released on 1994 with total page 500 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a revolutionary book about the nature of emotion, about the way emotions are triggered in our private moments, in our relations with others, and by our biology. Drawing on every theme of the modern life sciences, Dr. Nathanson shows how the nine basic affects--interest-excitement, enjoyment-joy, surprise-startle, fear-terror, distress-anguish, anger-rage, dissmell, disgust, and shame-humiliation--not only determine how we feel but shape our very sense of self. For too long there has been a battle between those who explain emotional discomfort on the basis of lived experience and those who blame chemistry. As Dr. Nathanson shows, chemicals and illnesses can affect our mood just as surely as an uncomfortable memory or a stern rebuke. He presents a completely new understanding of all emotion, providing the first link between the exciting affect theory of Silvan Tomkins and the entire world of biology, medicine, psychology, psychotherapy, religion, and the social sciences. Shame is the least understood of the painful emotions, although it affects every phase of life. We have all been made to feel foolish just at the moment we most wanted to appear wonderful; we have all been rebuffed by those we wished to court. Not one of us looks exactly as we might wish. Shame haunts our every dream of love, and influences how we experience ourselves as sexual beings. We react to shame by withdrawing, by making painful alliances with those who humiliate us, by calling attention to what brings us pride, or by attacking whoever has made us feel inferior. The comedian, as Nathanson shows in his discussion of Buddy Hackett, makes us laugh at what we try to keep hidden, transforming shame intoacceptance and even pride. This book explains everything that can possibly make us proud or ashamed. All are in this book; nobody who reads it will be quite the same again.

Download or read book Conquering Shame for Men written by Lee Tolar and published by Worldwide Discipleship Association. This book was released on 2023-07-22 with total page 209 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The RYH Conquering Shame workbook is Book 3 in a series of emotional and relational healing workbooks created by Restoring Your Heart (RYH), a healing ministry of Worldwide Discipleship Association. It is recommended that people complete the RYH Processing Pain and RYH Understanding Emotions workbooks prior to experiencing this workbook. Conquering Shame is a workbook that helps people take an in-depth look at what shame is, the effects of shame in their life, and how to deal with their shame and overcome it. What is shame? It is the deep belief and painful feeling that a person is flawed, defective, and worth less than others. Shame causes us to see ourselves as weak, inadequate, insignificant, unlovable, or not particularly talented. It can also cause us to hide our imagined defectiveness and try to be who we think people want us to be, not who we really are. Shame can cause us to have difficulty facing our sins and confessing them to God and to those we have offended. By withholding part of ourselves from God and other people, we won’t grow spiritually or be able to establish and maintain close relationships with people. This workbook is designed for use by a small group that is led by a trained facilitator. Conquering Shame is a 16-week group experience that includes a unique "connecting with God" exercise. Group members will work together on dealing with their shame in the context of a safe community. The suggested method is for the group to cover one lesson per week. During the week before each meeting, group members will read the lesson and complete the answers to the questions at their own individual pace. At the group meetings, there will be opportunities to share answers to many of the questions and, as the group progresses, to bond with the other group members and bring God into their healing process.
Download or read book Loveable written by Kelly Flanagan and published by HarperChristian + ORM. This book was released on 2017-03-21 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Kelly Flanagan is a psychologist, father, and blogger who is best known for the letters he has written to his children on his blog, one of which landed him on The Today Show with his four-year-old daughter. In Loveable, Flanagan answers three fundamental human questions: Am I enough? How do I become unlonely? Do I matter? He shows us how to rediscover our worthiness and remember that we are good enough. He encourages us to shed the false self that keeps us lonely and to find people who accept us as we are. And he inspires us to fully embrace our passions, regardless of how ordinary those passions may be. Reading like an extended love letter to readers, Loveable uncovers three essential truths: you are enough, you are not alone, and you matter. Flanagan invites us to disconnect from the distractions and demands of daily life and to listen more intently for the voice of grace within each of us, so we might fully awaken to the redemptive story we are here to live.
