Being raised Catholic as well as attending Catholic school from the 4th grade through the 12th grade was the perfect set-up for me to experience some major struggles with guilt and shame. I first started exploring how to heal my guilt & shame issues in the late 80’s through John Bradshaw’s best-selling book Healing The Shame That Binds You.
Although reading Bradshaw’s book was a turning point for me in gaining an understanding what shame and guilt are, and how they develop, he did not mention in this book that to be able to heal shame you needed to resolve guilt first through the process of self-forgiveness.
Through my years of doing a deep dive into studying guilt and shame, I’ve learned which emotions are helpful and which ones are not. I’ve also learned that guilt must be resolved through self-forgiveness before dealing with and resolving shame.
The self-forgiveness process is one of the many tools I provide to help my coaching clients get freed up to live a life they love.
