Have you ever heard the saying “You’re your own worst enemy?” That’s true for so many of us — we get off track because of internal shame and self-contempt. Over the past 10 years, Rick Patterson’s mission has been to understand why we do what we do and why we so often get in our own way. In researching this topic, Rick noticed that our mistakes and failures often play an important role in directing our future. It’s a vicious cycle that seems impossible to break. Fortunately, Rick has identified the hidden driver behind most of our destructive decisions — shame. He shares valuable insights and stories from his own life, which illustrate shame’s corrosive influence, as well as strategies for overcoming it. What if we could learn how to hone in on our internal roadblocks and change course? Understanding how much shame drives our actions and harms our relationships can help us begin the process of living the life we want to live, not the one dictated to us by our psychology. When you read Shame Unmasked , you will discover the source of your internal critic that often presents itself as fear, depression or poor self-esteem. Once that is accomplished, you no longer need to fortify a false self, but can begin to live into your own real path to success.
