About this listen

"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.

Experience listening to a book from 1990

As 'social animals' it's (arguably(?)) inevitable that blame or praise be attributed and a factor connected to how 'control' is felt and overlaps with emotional theory, even to a 'volitional level'. Hence I appreciate how this book uses narrative to develop at points which are brought up when it comes to how shame and guilt are developed. While a denser take could have been done, I appreciate this as far as an experience in *listening* to a self-help book (which I already read before). Goodness, knows how it might not have been the same if say anxiety was factored in 'more prevalently' as well.

I would like to say that if I had a choice, I actually wouldn't rate the performance and story; the former isn't something I would be keen on rating nor would I know how to do it better and the latter isn't 'conventionally' relevant in my opinion.

This is a damning description of the realities faced by children who lived a shaming experience within their families of origin

the information is relevant and interesting. however, the tone is punitive punishing and not really helpful when it comes to taking steps. It is clearly an ancient publication with the onus on exposing the agonizing realities of living within a shaming family. I don't know what the point is besides providing information. I feel much worse after reading this. is the author still alive? Maybe she could write a 2024 update? 35 years is a long time. There's not one mention of self-compassion. sigh.
