Devon Price Unlearning Shame

Produktbeskrivelse

FROM THE AUTHOR OF UNMASKING AUTISM 'This book articulates a feeling that has lurked in the dark corners of so many minds and brings it into the light where it can be faced, embraced, understood, and ultimately, healed. .' -Celeste Headlee, journalist and bestselling author How many times a day do you feel shame? Struggling to pay the bills; buying a top made in a sweatshop; reading the news and feeling - yet again - a powerlessness to the point of apathy? In this bold and transformative manifesto, social psychologist and author of Unmasking Autism Dr Devon Price takes an in-depth look at shame and the role it plays in our lives. Price identifies something called 'Systemic Shame': the powerful self-message that says I am to blame for my circumstances . He explores how it traps us into fighting unwinnable battles and judging others for their failures, and how it especially affects those who are already vulnerable because they're carrying shame from a difficult past or a complicated sense of self-esteem. By unpacking the concept of 'Systemic Shame', this radically positive book shows that there is no such thing as becoming 'good enough' to be deserving of love; we must claim acceptance for ourselves. Blending the latest social psychology, personal insights and empowering practical exercises, Unlearning Shame is a transformative guide to overcoming self-blame, unlocking self-worth and taking control of your future.
