In the category of self-help books for depression and anxiety, this was definitely a book that completely altered my outlook on life.

I have to warn that the first part delineates the problem, and the second half delineates the solution. The first part can be very tough to get through. But it is necessary to understand the extent of toxic shame. And once you get to the solution part, there are some great things & it's worth it.

I recommend this book for not only people struggling with depression, but anyone who struggles with self-esteem issues, ANY addictions (from shopping to sugar and all the stuff that's worse!), anyone wanting not to make the mistake of parenting kids (or teaching kids in school) in a way that makes them feel toxic shame, or anyone who had a difficult experience in childhood. (No, it doesn't have to be outright abuse, just anything traumatizing.)

I think Shame Research is fascinating & I want to read more on that topic, and also more by this author.
