The Real Way to Deal With Shame
Emma Lyons Why sending love to shame doesn’t work—and what actually frees you
Shame isn’t something you can soothe or comfort – it feeds on your attention and energy. Many spiritual and healing practices suggest “sending love” or healing to your shame as if it were a wounded child, but the truth is, shame is like a parasite. It survives on your compliance and internalization.
The real solution is reclaiming your power: cutting off its supply and refusing to be manipulated by it. This requires a fundamental shift in how we relate to shame: recognizing that it is never useful.
When you see it clearly and get it fully integrated into your nervous system, you stop feeding it and start reclaiming your energy, creativity, and capacity to manifest.
