Guilt says you did something wrong. Shame says you are wrong. It can grow from trauma, family messages, religion or discrimination, and it often hides, making people withdraw exactly when they need support.
Therapy offers a place where you can bring the things you are most afraid to say and find that you are still accepted. Our clinicians help you understand where shame came from and build self-compassion that lasts.
Common questions
What is the difference between shame and guilt?
Guilt is about something you did and can guide you to make amends. Shame is a painful sense that you are fundamentally flawed, and it tends to make people hide.
Can shame be healed?
Yes. Many people find shame loosens as they feel understood, challenge old beliefs and build self-compassion with a supportive therapist.
