Sandra’s Story: Healing From Shame-based Performance and Hypervigilance (Part 2)
In last week’s episode, we heard from Sandra who worked hard to suppress her shame through performance. It wasn’t until well into her journey into marriage and parenting that an apology from a trusted family member unleashed a lot of pain Sandra had experienced but never understood its source.
