Synopsis
This book explores the emotions of shame (embarrassment, guilt, self-consciousness), which are unavoidable aspects of life. Richly illustrated with clinical stories from Burgo’s 35 years of practice, this is an intimate look at the full spectrum of shame―often masked by addiction, promiscuity, perfectionism, and narcissism―offering a new, positive route forward.
