Everything we do requires a belief that
we’re good enough, even small things,
and that is why it’s often so much
harder for women to get back on their
feet after abusive relationships,
because there is so much shame
around that person and it’s usually the
perpetrator that has given them that
belief.
Shame and the effect and impact of
it is something that’s not nearly talked
about or sufficiently understood.
It really isn’t. Often when I talk
about shame, that will be the thing
that makes them cry because I’m
probably one of the first persons that
has ever acknowledged that they feel
that way.
