Shame & Guilt

Masters of Disguise

By: Jane Middleton-Moz

Narrated by: Cat Gould

"It is my feeling that debilitating shame and guilt are at the root of all dysfunctions in families," says Jane Middelton-Moz.

A few common characteristics of adults shamed in childhood:

• You may suffer extreme shyness, embarrassment and feelings of being inferior to others.
• You don't believe you make mistakes, you believe you are a mistake.
• You feel controlled from the outside and from within.
• You feel that normal spontaneous expression is blocked.
• You may suffer from debilitating guilt; you apologize constantly.
• You have little sense of emotional boundaries; you feel constantly violated by others; you frequently build false boundaries.

If you see yourself in any of these characteristics, you can learn how shame keeps you from being the person you were born to be and how to change that. Shame & Guilt describes how debilitating shame is created and fostered in childhood and how it manifests itself in adulthood and in intimate relationships. Through the use of myths and fairytales to portray different shaming environments, Dr. Middelton-Moz allows you to reach the shamed child within you and to add clarity to what could be difficult concepts.

Listen to Shame & Guilt - you're worth it.

This book is incredible

I loved this book. so good and in depth and very easy to understand and thought provoking

Opened my eyes

Terrific clarity in describing the characteristics of shame, how it is created, how we manifest it in our lives, how it shuts us away from living our lives. More how to clear out shame would be excellent.

Everyone can relate to this book

It describes almost every different relationships and why it is occurring and how to correct

Great Book

This topic is something far too many people deal with at varying levels in life. I highly recommend this book to anything who wants to feel more enabled to craft the life they choose rather than be defined by past trauma or circumstances... and to anyone else a beating heart and either eyes or ears to receive this content :)
