This post continues on how to heal self-destructive shame which can lead to reduced psychological symptoms and increased self-esteem.
This post continues with the 5 intertwined steps based on Compassion Focused Therapy aiming to heal injuries created by too self-critical shame. Last posts were about the 2 first steps:

Step – 2 Connect to your past: Go through difficult situations and childhood memories to understand how you came to develop too self-critical shame

More about shame and what to do about it in step3 in upcoming posts.
