Shame is a devastating emotion which can destroy a person\u2019s life if allowed to persist.\u00a0 Feeling ashamed of what they\u2019ve done, thought, felt, or fantasized about can lead a person to give up on themselves\u2014to withdraw and isolate themselves from others, to sabotage their goals and dreams because they feel unworthy, to beat themselves up with constant negative self-talk and accusations.<\/p>\n

Left untreated, shame will fester in the subconscious mind and rob a person of their self-respect, self-confidence, self-esteem, self-worth, and self-care.\u00a0 Suffering from shame often causes depression, self-loathing, and sometimes even a desire to escape the only way they know how\u2014to commit suicide.<\/p>\n
