There are few books that have spirit to them. This is one of them. As I began to read, I started to realize just how numbed I had been to my own shame. Experiences started flooding back to me from different periods in my life where the shame and self-love issues that I had experienced as a child, teenager, and adult began to put a glaze of denial over my life…In essence, I had been shaming myself and making decisions through shame that had shaped my life.

There’s deep sincerity and honesty here. The more I read, the more I was able to heal. At one point, I realized that I had numbed a powerful part of me. Ignored it like a child crying in the bedroom next door simply wanting love, nurturing and acknowledgement.

My advice is to do the exercise…really do them. Get into them and really dive into the experience of healing shame, and the unloved parts of you. There’s so much power hidden underneath the cycle of shame, and Embrace the Unlovable gives you the compassion to break it.
