transmute your shame

The tie wraps of human psychology, no one escapes from.
To stop falling victim, start with one thing;
Don’t give them your fucking wrists.

If that failed?
Get them off.

I’m going to look up if it has a name. I do know shame has become more acknowledged.
Like: Someone is shamed for something.

Another modern term is the classification debilitating shame.
Explaining that even if we think shame is a functional or necessary emotion (which I personally don’t believe) then it is still only acceptable to certain levels and misses the mark when overdone.
The adjective “debilitating” also indicates that healthy shame (again, something I would argue does not exist) is not supposed to take you out or immobilize you.

But is there a line of therapy or professional field aimed at converting or treating shame?
I don’t know, I’ll have a look. Brb.

Yes, I see there are different modalities targeted at treating shame. They revolve around self-soothing, connection with others, emotions, the body, and a few more.

Which is not what I have to share.
My point today is a different one;
To recognize the tremendous power it holds and to harvest it.

I recently realized all famous women I’ve admired had their bodies and/or their deepest (naked) thoughts exposed publicly.
They were all disrespected.
And they all alchemized it, they integrated it.

Shame can be internal too. Then it has to do with you having internalized social standards.
The voice in your own head is shaming you.

But whatever the context, shame is still the same:
It is a breach of a social construct.

Regardless if you want to go as far as cutting yourself free from these social constructs, a word of caution;
Any topic you feel shame around is where you’re not yet ready to integrate and alchemize.

Which is not just a weak spot in your mental health security;
You’re leaving money on the table.
