Hi jenni
I think I may be commenting for the sake of commenting but my reply would be when I am in a position where i feel really uptight or resistant or completely in the dark about an emotion I used to completely try to force myself to feel an emotion, become angry at myself or feel punishing towards myself for not being able to feel it. After feeling exhausted, troubled and unhappy (for about 2 years!) I started to realise that this was the Law of Compensation or "natural consequences" at work - treat myself unlovingly and I would feel terrible and my health would decline, more grey hairs, fat round the middle etc. More recently I have given myself permission to never have to feel an emotion - any emotion negative or positive ever ever again. I feel a lot better and more open to looking at what emotions are blocking my emotions. So if we have heard the theory that once we remove our blocks emotion will flow, we could experiment with prayer asking for help to see our blocks to shame or whatever the emotion is then be vigilant.
So I suppose I am saying never force, difficult emotions are involved but if the journey feels laboured and difficult and hard then i feel we are doing something wrong/out of harmony with love from God's perspective.
What addictions and beliefs do you think you have about Shame?
