Someone to Talk to About Shame

...read more

Shame is a powerful and painful emotion that can feel overwhelming, isolating, and consuming. It often stems from past mistakes, societal judgment, or deep-seated self-criticism. Unlike guilt, which arises from specific actions, shame attacks the core of who you are, making you feel unworthy or undeserving of love and support.

You are not alone in this. Healing from shame starts with self-compassion, recognizing that everyone makes mistakes, and understanding that you are more than the worst thing you’ve ever done or experienced.

At 7 Cups, we offer a safe, nonjudgmental space where you can share your feelings and work toward self-acceptance. Talking about shame can help release its hold on you, allowing you to step forward with kindness toward yourself.

"Don't wait for a light to appear at the end of the tunnel, stride down there and light the bloody thing yourself" So let us sit down together and figure out a way to escape this dark tunnel that you're in. Tell me how you got here and maybe I can motivate you to find a way out. I'm always here to listen to you.

So far, I genuinely feel like she is the only person to have understood me. Like I’ve been doing therapy for a few years and this is the first time where I genuinely feel understood by somebody. I feel listened to. And then I really appreciate her because it feels like she’s guiding me through with questions.
So far I love her approach and her questions are always on point!
I love how she acknowledges everything I say.
