CRUCIBLE OF SHAME:
HEALING THE SOCIETAL ROOTS OF ADDICTION AND "MENTAL ILLNESS"
Guilt says “I did something wrong.” Shame says “I am something wrong.” The experience of shame is a direct negative evaluation of the self. In guilt, the self is focused on negative behaviors, but the self is not the focus. In this book, the author discusses the effects of toxic shame, and how to deal with trauma, addiction and mental illness.
