Overview

Crucible of Shame discusses the birth of toxic shame as a self-destructive and unsupportive emotional stance acquired through one's socialization, role-modeling and childrearing methods adopted one's own that continue to operate, until examined in later life.Having incorporated these negative self-judgments, one then builds a life adapted to them, or their avoidance. Addictions, mental illness, multi-generational incest, permanent war, poverty, racism, and an overarching greed orientation are just some of the artifacts.After extensively discussing the artifacts of toxic shame and its effects, in the latter portion of the book, the author posits the possibility of shame as a positive social emotion, the experience and effects of which might be extremely useful in re-ordering one's life in accord with better personal integration gleaned as a result of that work. I believe that most of the faults and foibles of modern civilization are the result of this shame-based orientation, and the failure to transform the effects thereof.This book is dedicated to all those brave souls stepping up in their lives to clear ancient shame and heal their hearts and souls.
