Shaming can feel as natural as breathing at times. YOU messages slip off of my tongue without any awareness of the shame they impart because they have become such a part of me. I hear these messages echo through my brain, limiting my vision of myself and then find myself saying the same things to others, not intending harm, but inflicting it none the less. Doing unto others what has been done to me.
'You did what?', 'You’re ________!’,‘You can’t…’, ‘You need to …’, ‘You’re not good enough’, ‘What’s the matter with you?’, ‘You’ll never…’, ‘You should or shouldn’t…’
