"Shame tends to dissolve under sunlight". Wow, is that true. It is 3am when shame wants to party and it's easy to forget during the light of day that shame waits under the front porch.
It's so great to see you here! I've missed you! Yes, late at night, shame emerges unless we can untangle from it. I have found IFS work is able to dismantle it completely!
This: "Shame hates the light of day. Like the Wicked Witch and water, Shame tends to dissolve under sunlight and sharing. But dissolving Shame is different from healing Shame."
So so so so true. Reading this made me think that what dissolves will reform elsewhere.
Yes, that is why IFS has been so helpful for me and others. Because it's not merely witnessing but also healing, via un-blending, understanding, and unburdening.
I've been wrestling with shame a lot lately. Sometimes it's so heavy.
It is brave of you to say so. We can work on this! That's why I'm writing about it/talking about it. It is healable. <3
Thanks.

I've missed you too. I'll send along a note via email.
Emma, this is lovely and healing and helpful. Thank you for sharing. My Autistic IFS-loving self needed this message today.
Thanks so much, jordan! All my parts aim to please! And heal! And be helpful.
