Shame — the belief that you are fundamentally flawed or unworthy — is one of the most powerful drivers of cbd and the primary barrier to seeking help.
How Shame Maintains CBD
- Shame drives concealment of cbd, preventing the help that would reduce it
- Self-blame for cbd creates additional psychological burden
- Shame spirals can trigger and worsen cbd episodes
- Shame isolates — and isolation is a primary cbd amplifier
Shame vs. Guilt in CBD
Shame ('I am bad/flawed because I have cbd'): Drives more cbd
Guilt ('My behavior related to cbd hurt someone'): Can be productive
Therapy often helps shift from shame to guilt and then to self-compassion.
