“Shame is a soul eating emotion” Carl Gustav Jung

Today shame is  often related to compulsive behavior.  It seems also to be the reason for codependent rather than meaningful relationships.   Everyone knows shame in some part of life, so it is a common denominator.  In small doses it is the element that keeps us from enjoying being ourselves.  In larger quantities it is crippling.  It’s a shame so much energy is spent on shame. While it cannot be avoided completely during one’s life it can be kept in check.
