Untangling Shame and Borderline Personality Disorder with Jacqueline and Kibby
“Shame is painful. We try to go through the world with a generally positive self-esteem and when we bump up against the knowledge that we're seen as we're feared, that we're seen, then it makes us feel a lot of pain and it can tend to kind of yank us out of our rational mind and we start making decisions based off of self-protection.”
