Shame is a universal social emotion meant to keep us out of trouble. It may be expressed in many ways including perfectionism or feeling worthless. It can be hard to detect shame since it can bind with other emotions, such as grief, anger, or fear. Shame can be transformed from a self-punishing emotion into an ally, supporting our well being and health. Nurse Rona will be joined by Bret Lyon, PhD, and Sheila Rubin, MA, LMFT, authors of Embracing Shame.
