By Jerry Snyder


Turning to self care when you are suffering from shame and guilt can help you move forward in your life. Of course, this can be a process. However, when you make the effort and you are motivated, you will find it to be incredibly rewarding. Self care and awareness healing is a method used by therapists which helps patients who are experiencing shame, leading to emotional and physical sensations.

Not only will shame affect you emotionally, but you will also find that there are physical symptoms that begin to develop. It can be crippling when this interferes with your body on a daily basis. These are symptoms that just don't seem to go away. You will need to deal with this by being more aware of what is happening. The first thing you have to do is to be able to recognize the shame.

It is possible to listen to what your body is telling you. People can walk around like this for years. They will be carrying a heavy weight on their shoulders and this is obviously difficult to manage. When you are aware of what your body is telling you, you will be able to take all the right steps. You will have to find out why you are experiencing this shame.

Many people bottle this up and tend to ignore the problem. However, not only is this bad for the emotional state, but it affects the body as well. As soon as you start to deal with the underlying issues, you will find that your physical sensations will begin to improve as well. The memory will often be numb, so this is something you have to work on. The body is already remembering something.

Often, when you talk to someone, you will find a lot of these feelings will begin to float back again. You'll start to eliminate the shame with their encouragement. You would have found that you have been putting yourself down over the years. You need to set goals and work with basic steps in order to achieve certain things in your life.

You need to be kind to yourself. Over the years, you would have found that shame and guilt has led you to believe that you are to blame yourself for various issues in your life. You need to learn more about self compassion. It is important to treat yourself by looking at things like meditation, relaxation, eating the right foods and getting enough sleep.

Being aware of these symptoms and sensations will lead to being compassionate about yourself and learning to love yourself. This is something that the client was unable to do before and it is a goal that needs to be set. Without self love and compassion, one is not able to forgive oneself. This is the most important step. It can take time, so the client needs to be patient with him or herself.

A good therapist will essentially teach their clients how to act as a parent to themselves. They may not have had a parent to guide them. This can be something new. They may have from neglect, rejection or abuse. A lot of people come from a dysfunctional home. They think this is their fault. Learning to forgive themselves is all part of the process.
