And now on the other side of homelessness, back in lodgings and my needs met, the shame remains, just as it was there before I lost everything to begin with.

Name it and it will recede, because acknowledging the pain is the first step in letting go. Write it down. Shout it out to a room full of no one. It doesn't matter how you go about it, the end note is disempowerment. Naming it is like shining a bright light in the corners of our closets; once you do, the shadows cease to hold sway with us. None of which is easy, all of which is possible. Wishing you strength, m'dear - and with thanks for watching my talk. :)

The shame IS the UNBELONGING state (its detachment from your loving family) still dwelling in your soul. When someone you love hears that unbelonging they reach for you, they validate your experience with their tenderness and deep understanding, you can grieve it and like the thawing ice in spring you can believe you are worth holding, worth saving, worth the time and attention others want to give you.

Amazing, powerful talk! Light will alchemize the shame in the darkness.

I enjoyed listening to that SO much, that I have to listen to it again!, A very proud Mother!!!

Trauma=shame=addiction. A person who is homeless and holds sp much shame has been dealing with trauma and feelings of shame long before they got in the place of homelessness

What a beautiful speech, Julie! Thanks for the inspiration.

The way she talks is so genius as well

Beautiful impressive amazing brave soul. More n more amazing souls pray rise n shine. Thank you, bless you. All your dreams come true.

Ooooh Julie!!! I am so proud to know you. Keep doing these talks! I can't wait to see more on your work & insights.

Tmi!?? What do you mean by tmi?! No need to be apologetic about your life experiences! I see the shame coming through.i have even worse shame struggles. I don't know if I'll ever get through the first layer of it before I die

Using "TMI" to justify saying something, during a talk on shame, just perpetuates shame

Hey Anthony - Thank you for watching my talk and for challenging the way I start it. To be clear, it was one of the most difficult things I've ever done because I care so much about this topic and I dearly wanted to get it right. From my vantage (because we are all standing in a slightly different place, right?), I truly wasn't seeking to justify anything but rather to acknowledge firsthand my own shame - the pressure to remain silent, to keep that which is unspeakable, unsaid. If shame is couched in our secrets, in that which lives in the shadows of our lives, isn't it apt to begin a talk about shame by shining a light on just such a thing?

I have no idea where I was at emotionally when I wrote that comment, but I was wrong to do so. Your heartfelt talk should be celebrated, not criticized. I suffer from shame episodes from time to time, and I think I may have been in one when I wrote to you.
