John Bradshaw’s classic, strong and sometimes uncomfortable speech on the topic of Shame and Toxic shame is essential and important information for many.
I remember watching this back in 2005 at the beginning of my healing and spiritual path knowing that it was relevant and that I needed to take heed.
In 2024 it’s even more relevant to me to encourage, work through and understand toxic shame in humanity and our relationships.
