John Bradshaw Quotes
Toxic Shame, The Shame That Binds Us, Is Experienced As The All-pervasive Sense That "I Am Flawed And Defective As A Human Being." Toxic Shame Is No Longer An Emotion That Signals Our Limits; It Is A State Of Being, A Core Identity. Toxic Shame Gives You A Sense Of Worthlessness, A Sense Of Failing And Falling Short As A Human Being. Toxic Shame Is A Rupture Of The Self With The Self. It Is Like Internal Bleeding - Exposure To Oneself Lies At The Heart Of Toxic Shame. A Shame-based Person Will Guard Against Exposing His Inner Self To Others, But More Significantly, He Will Guard Against Exposing Himself To Himself. Toxic Shame Is So Excruciating Because It Is The Painful Exposure Of The Perceived Failure Of Self To The Self. In Toxic Shame The Self Becomes An Object Of Its Own Contempt, An Object That Can't Be Trusted. As An Object That Can't Be Trusted, One Experiences Oneself As Untrustworthy.
