Hello Tim,

Buying into shame or fear can certainly be detrimental to our emotional health. I am impressed that you were able to sit with your intense feelings and thoughts. It sounds like your awareness got you in touch with your beautiful affirmation, “I’m unbroken” and to move through the feelings of shame. The other affirmations I had in mind as I read your story are… “I AM Enough” and “I AM Okay.” Thank you for sharing.

Warmly,

Kelly
