Joyce Marter Quoted In Huffington Post Article: Shame Excavation: Unearthing Toxic Shame

by Joyce Marter / Monday, 11 August 2014 / Published in Media Outlet, Web

“Shame is inexorably tied to the question that many of us will eventually ask ourselves, ‘Are we a human doing or a human being?’  In other words, is our value and appreciation for and about ourselves determined by what we do (and how it impacts others) or by just who we are?  Self-worth determined by what we do is neither life-affirming, nor is it personally and emotionally sustaining.  We can never do ‘good’ enough to free us from the shackles of low self-esteem, self-doubt and insecurity.
