| Shame isn’t proof something’s wrong with us—it’s a protective signal from the brain’s survival system.
In this neuroscience-informed worksheet, Dr. Kate Truitt introduces readers to “Amy,” the amygdala, and explores how shame can be a signal that our connection, safety, or self-worth feels at risk.
This downloadable guide provides psychoeducation, reflection prompts, and body-based techniques to help individuals identify shame, reframe its narrative, and gradually establish new patterns of self-compassion, regulation, and resilience.
