Healing Humanity: Life Without Shame

Healing Humanity reveals how shame causes anxiety and depression, domestic violence, frustration with children, unhappy marriages and war, and weaves in how to heal that shame. This book shows readers how to see the ordinary, everyday shaming going on all the time, and the harm it causes. Shame-healing groups are described so readers can establish their own approach to recognizing damaging internalized toxic shame, all with the support of others doing the same. Hastings describes approaches for these groups. In this readable guide to shame and how to heal from it, Dr. Hastings illuminates how to heal from shame, using her own experiences and shame-healing stories of friends, co-healers, and clients. The reader gets to recover right along with them by taking concrete, do-able steps provided in this book. Because shame affects everyone, healing it can enhance your life and your humanity.
