Through raw personal reflection, she offers a powerful path toward healing: vulnerability, connection, and choosing self-love, again and again. Read along with the original article(s) here: https://www.vironika.org/escaping-from-the-prison-of-shame/ Quotes to ponder: "Shame is a prison in all our minds." "When I hate myself, however, I don’t know that it will go away. I begin to function as a different person in a different reality." "It happens to everyone, until it doesn’t. Until they make a purposeful effort to begin perceiving themselves another way."
