In our shame and our passion lies the most valuable part of us hidden. Shame is vital. It protects our core essence and is the guardian of our dignity, especially when we are emotionally wounded. However, shame also isolates us from ourselves and from others. We no longer stand firmly in life. If we succeed in overcoming our shame, we find our own center. Then our passion can unfold and become the source of our lives. The book allows for an exploration of one's own experiences of shame and shows ways to establish healthy boundaries of shame, giving life a more passionate and vibrant direction. The authors skillfully address the topic of the damage and healing of the inner child, without neglecting the social context.
