Shame Will Kill You 48" (W) x 36" (W) x 1.5" (W) Painting

This past year has given me a lot of time to explore the origins and effects of trauma. Decades of research point to shame as a significant factor underlying continued trauma. Shame is insidious because it gets in the way of understanding your trauma. That little voice in your head makes you feel responsible for the bad things that happen. “What did I do to deserve this?” “Why am I such a loser?” “Why couldn’t I save her?” Feeling ashamed suppresses our ability to talk about how we feel. The guilt associated with shame has us believing we’re somehow unworthy, broken, and unlovable. Those suppressed feelings can become physical and in many cases leads to disease (dis-ease). That disease can also create more shame. Unrecognized and untreated this cycle can be deadly. Trauma can be inherited too. Our culture saddles all of us with some kind of shame and guilt.
