Description
"Shaming someone into action creates acting. Inspiring someone into action creates change." --Neil Strauss
In Why Shame-Based Faith Doesn't Work and What to Do Instead, we talk about the impact of shame-based Christian teachings on trauma survivors, explaining how shame pressures us to “act” righteous without fostering true inner change. For those who’ve already experienced the deep wounds of trauma, especially in religious settings, shame can be re-traumatizing, making us feel unworthy and disconnected from God’s love and preventing us from finding the authentic healing that God offers. Instead of creating lasting transformation, shame drives us into hiding, encouraging us to perform rather than to heal. I share insights on how to protect ourselves from these shame-based messages, set boundaries, and find supportive communities that prioritize grace. Healing begins when we shift our focus from external appearances to a relationship with God built on His love, not fear. By embracing God’s grace, we can experience real, life-giving change that draws us closer to Him.
