Beschreibung

Paperback. Shame does not arrive announcing itself. It arrives as the instinct to make yourself smaller, to apologize before anyone asks, to take up less room than you are entitled to. It arrives as the certainty that if people saw the full picture, they would find you wanting. And because it arrives quietly and early, it can spend years feeling less like a wound and more like a fact about who you are.This workbook is about that certainty and where it came from. Shame is not a character trait and it is not an accurate report on your worth. It is something that was learned, under specific conditions, from specific people and experiences, and it has been organizing your behavior, your relationships, and your sense of what you deserve ever since.Not Enough and Too Much traces shame back to its origins, names what it has been costing you across every domain of your life, and builds the practice of existing without the constant apology that shame requires. It does not ask you to simply feel better about yourself. It asks you to understand how you came to feel this way and to do the actual work of changing it.You were not born believing you were not enough. That belief was learned, under specific conditions, from specific people and experiences. And because it was learned, it can be examined, understood, and gradually replaced with something closer to the truth about who you actually are. For people who have spent years feeling like too much or not enough, this clinically grounded workbook traces shame back to its origins, maps what it has cost, and builds the practice of existing without the constant apology.

Über diesen Titel

Inhaltsangabe

Shame does not arrive announcing itself. It arrives as the instinct to make yourself smaller, to apologize before anyone asks, to take up less room than you are entitled to. It arrives as the certainty that if people saw the full picture, they would find you wanting. And because it arrives quietly and early, it can spend years feeling less like a wound and more like a fact about who you are.

This workbook is about that certainty and where it came from. Shame is not a character trait, and it is not an accurate report on your worth. It is something that was learned, under specific conditions, from specific people and experiences, and it has been organizing your behavior, your relationships, and your sense of what you deserve ever since.

Not Enough and Too Much traces shame back to its origins, names what it has been costing you across every domain of your life, and builds the practice of existing without the constant apology that shame requires. It does not ask you to simply feel better about yourself. It asks you to understand how you came to feel this way and to do the actual work of changing it.

You were not born believing you were not enough. That belief was learned, under specific conditions, from specific people and experiences. And because it was learned, it can be examined, understood, and gradually replaced with something closer to the truth about who you actually are.
