Peer support helps with shame because shame thrives in secrecy and self-silencing. A group can make it easier to name what feels hidden, feel less alone in it, and begin replacing harsh self-judgment with understanding.
What shame groups often cover
- Self-judgment, secrecy, and feeling fundamentally flawed
- How shame affects relationships, self-worth, and visibility
- The overlap between shame, trauma, perfectionism, and fear
- Compassion, language, and support that loosen shame’s hold
Who these groups may help
