Unshackle Yourself from Shameflammation
How to identify and conquer your inner demons
At some stage, we all feel shame, yet when it becomes a persistent presence in our lives, what then? That’s where shameflammation comes into play.
The notion of shameflammation is well-supported as emotional manifestations, akin to physical inflammation caused by injury, can result in discomfort, irritation, and even pain. Such emotional responses can make it harder to navigate daily life and leave us feeling exhausted or drained. Furthermore, extensive scientific research has established a connection between negative emotions and the type of internal inflammation that is chronic, systemic, and invisible. This inflammation is linked to serious health conditions, including heart disease, stroke, certain types of cancer, and diabetes.
Shameflammation is the act of allowing your negative thoughts and feelings about yourself to build up until they reach an unbearable level.
In this article based on an episode I did from the Passion Struck podcast, I explain shameflammation, signs you might need to look out for if you’re experiencing it, how to tame shameflammation, and the benefits of tackling shameflammation head-on.
