5.0 out of 5 stars Shame is a lonely place, 5 Sep 2000
Before reading this book, I was unaware what a big influence shame has on all aspects of life - if we were consistently shamed in childhood, the effects can be devastating. John Bradshaw explains just why shame is such a powerful force and what we can do about it. If you were shamed, you probably think you are alone. Read this book and discover that you are not.

5.0 out of 5 stars Helpful, 12 Mar 2008
By charliebarlie (Maidstone) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Healing the Shame That Binds You (Recovery Classics) (Paperback)
Some reviewers say this book makes people too self centred. I can see why there might be a danger of that. But it can also be a very helpful book. Some shame isn't very useful and can seriously harm people's lives. I am finding the book very inspiring.

4.0 out of 5 stars For All Those Living In the Shadow of Shame..., 27 Jun 1999
By A Customer
Many suffer from the damaging effects of Toxic Shame. A little-explored subject, it causes one to feel defective from the core of one's being. The roots of shame come from abuse and dysfunctionality in the family and early socialization in school. People then tend to measure their worth against external standards and feedback and when it is negative or lacking, can feel a devasting loss of self. Whether perpetrated on an overt or covert level, the damaging effects can last a lifetime, leading people into mental illness, addiction, and crippling disfunctionality.

Bradshaw gives a diagnostic and thereapeutic vocabulary to those who desperately need it. Some people are shamed by the same people over and over again (ie: spouses and family) and need the tools with which to cope. Based on the twelve-step paradigm, Bradshaw shows us how to recognize the signs of toxic shame and how to (with the help of a therapist and/or healing community) eventually overcome it.
