Sample Book Insights:
#1 The biochemistry was finally proven. The elegant hypothesis was proven correct. But the result also proved the hypothesis wrong. The pastor had been sleeping with several women, and when he was confronted, he could not admit to the affair. His life was unraveling faster than he could have imagined.
#2 Shame is the lowest common denominator in human relationships, and it can be found in all of us. It is something we all experience at some level, and it can be more prominently displayed in some people than in others.
#3 The field of interpersonal neurobiology is the study of how our brains and bodies react to shame. It has revealed that shame is the primary tool that evil uses to destroy everything it touches.
#4 We all experience a common place of suffering called shame. It is the unspoken, primal obstacle to our growth and flourishing. It is difficult to define, but we recognize its presence in the moment we experience it.

Insights from Chapter 1

#1

The biochemistry was finally proven. The elegant hypothesis was proven correct. But the result also proved the hypothesis wrong. The pastor had been sleeping with several women, and when he was confronted, he could not admit to the affair. His life was unraveling faster than he could have imagined.

#2

Shame is the lowest common denominator in human relationships, and it can be found in all of us. It is something we all experience at some level, and it can be more prominently displayed in some people than in others.

#3

The field of interpersonal neurobiology is the study of how our brains and bodies react to shame. It has revealed that shame is the primary tool that evil uses to destroy everything it touches.

#4

We all experience a common place of suffering called shame. It is the unspoken, primal obstacle to our growth and flourishing. It is difficult to define, but we recognize its presence in the moment we experience it.

#5

Shame is an undercurrent of sensed emotion, which we may have a slight or robust impression that if we put words to it, would declare some version of I am not enough. It is born out of a sense of there being something wrong with me, and I do not have what it takes to tolerate this moment.

#6

We must understand that shame is both ubiquitous and infinitely shape-shifting. If we approach it as a problem that we can solve by simply changing how or what we think, we will only limited our effectiveness in combating it.

#7

Matt was a marketing executive who was conscientious and cared about his employees. He worried that at any moment the economy would shift enough that he would have to lay someone off or that the company would fail. He came to see me to explore the possibility of using cognitive therapy to restructure his thinking about his life.

#8

The essence of shame is not reducible to a statement. It is something that seems to have been woven into our DNA. We often try to get our minds around shame by using language, but this often only reinforces it.

#9

The act of judging others has its origins in our self-judgment. We have constructed a sophisticated lattice of blindness around this behavior, which prevents our awareness of it.

#10

Judgment and the shame that is its master can become the source of an ever-enlarging circle of conflict. It doesn’t take much to make the jump from Mary’s stated opinion about Stan’s proposal during the school board meeting to entire groups of people publicly choosing sides not just about how to spend several thousand dollars, but privately about personalities.

#11

Shame is the emotion that arises when we believe we are not measuring up to our expectations or someone else’s expectations. It is often accompanied by hiding, which is the act of shrouding ourselves in invisibility to avoid further intensification of the emotion.

#12

When we experience shame, we tend to turn away from others because the prospect of being seen or known by another carries the anticipation of shame being intensified or reactivated. However, the very act of turning away, while temporarily protecting and relieving us from our feeling, reinforces the shame we are attempting to avoid.

#13

The effects of shame are felt not only by the person experiencing it, but by those around them as well. It can lead to isolation and disconnection between people.

#14

The shame of emotional neglect can lead to isolation, and the process tends to snowball, catching people in a self-perpetuating loop. There is hope, however, for those who respond to shame by turning toward their emotions.

#15

The school system in which Jordan had grown up was a cauldron of pressure and anxiety for students and parents alike.
