Wow "If only it were that simple. Here’s the painful paradox that ruins men like you: Self-punishment feels morally satisfying in the short term. It gives the illusion of taking responsibility. But, in the long-term, it fuels ongoing guilt. You never resolve the original guilt and beating the shit out of yourself becomes another data point that proves why you should feel guilty. And the cycle repeats and drives the guilt into shame."

Such a slap in the face(in a healthy way) to realize that I have been doing this and I am part of the reason why things aren't improving faster

Thank you so much for commenting Molly. I completely understand what you're saying.

In a lot of the coaching I do, I help people move more of their beliefs and experiences from subject to object. In other words, instead of being subject to shame, we create separation from it so we can hold it in our hands like an object and examine it.

When you're subject to something, it has you. When it becomes object, you have it.

I wish you peace and healing friend ♥️♥️
