Shame: The Path Out of Hell Audible Audiobook – Unabridged

In The Path out of Hell psychotherapist Carolyn Cowan reveals a ground-breaking approach to working with the emotion that hides lurking behind most forms of human suffering: shame. The path you will take through this book will reveal what shame is, how you ended up with it, what you have done with it, and how to create change. It is an epic journey for which Carolyn has a thoroughly road-tested map. The end goal is to ask you to make choice to change and take responsibility for that in a way that you will have never heard, nor conceived of, before. Having walked the path through this process with hundreds of individuals in client work and workshops, Carolyn’s new book aims to shed light this core aspect of maintaining good mental health that no one is publicly talking about. When you feel shame, you react in ways that allow you a fast escape out of it, often harming yourself, or others, in the process. These reactions become habitual and lead to labels and disorders. Anxiety, addictions, obsession and compulsion are what we do with our sense of shame. They are coping mechanisms. They are put in place to avoid feeling shame. This, especially over time, makes our coping mechanisms extremely important to us. Until you’re willing to work with shame, you will keep putting down one coping mechanism to pick up another. Do you want long term change? Are you brave enough to walk with Carolyn on the path out of hell? Read more
