Client: “I just can’t believe I am divorced. I can’t believe I wasn’t strong enough to fix it. I just have so much shame. I guess I really am a loser just like the rest of my family.” Therapist: “You’re not a loser. That’s your shame talking. Shame loves to attack us and make us feel small. It is happiest when we are suffering. Let’s name your shame, what do you want to call this hideous thing?” What kind of therapist is this?
