SESSION 2: Revealing the Shame Message

STORY JOURNAL – Session Two

How do you define shame?

What is the difference between shame and guilt?

Reflect back again on your story, and begin to notice some of the common themes that emerged from your wounding experiences and share them with your group.

What did my wounding experiences communicate to me about me?

What did my wounding experiences communicate about where I belonged?

What did my story communicate about my significance, value, and worth?

Based on my wounding experiences and the shame communicated to me, how would I finish the phrase “I AM ___________________.”
