Wondering if you might need therapy for feelings of shame? The simple answer is when shame starts interfering with your daily life.

Shame is like a sticky emotional residue that convinces you that something is fundamentally wrong with who you are. It doesn't matter how hard you try to improve yourself or how much you achieve; deep down, you still feel flawed and unworthy.

Trying to overcompensate by being extra helpful, cheerful, or working harder only masks the shame from others and intensifies your sense of isolation.

Eventually, you might start believing that you're inherently defective, leading you to give up on trying to better yourself altogether.

So, what can you do? The key is to gradually confront and understand your shame with the help of a therapist. By slowly unraveling the messages shame sends you, you can start to make sense of it and even see it as something to befriend rather than fear.

If this resonates with you, it's important to know that support is available. You don't have to struggle with shame alone. Therapy, like the services offered at Insight Therapy Services, can help you explore the roots of your shame, gain insights into your behaviors and self-perception, and reclaim control over your life.
