Very well put! Overcoming and dealing with shame has been both difficult and empowering in my life. In addition, the voice inside that is determined to be as negative as possible is amplified with even just a sprinkling of shame. We would never say to others what we say to ourselves and with such fervor. I really love that you included the fact that the shame and negative self focus is narcissistic and ego driven - the intense focus on self hinders our ability to give freely to others. Excellent work Maggie!
