Let me remind you (and also myself): It’s okay to change your mind. Some things you thought you wanted at one time and maybe things change. That's okay.

β„ΉοΈπŸŒΏ DEEP-ROOTED SHAME FROM CHILDHOOD ADVERSITY IS MALLEABLE |

We all know people who are likable, accomplished, and outwardly confident, yet underneath their successful exterior lurks deep self-dislike and self-doubt known as shame. Perhaps that describes how you feel.

Shame from adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) registers not in the verbal, reasoning left hemisphere of the brain, which consciously recalls memories with words and thoughts. Rather, shame lodges mainly in the right brain, with its strong connections to the emotional and physical survival regions of the brain.
