“Most of the shame we have to deal with is pathology because we're dealing with other people's narcissistic pathology that they're shaming us unnecessarily. In other words, a lot of people shame us for things we don't need to be shamed. Like in dysfunctional families, shame is the law. A lot of the time in a dysfunctional family, you're being shamed for the very things you ought to be proud of.” - Dr Robert L. Moore (1942 - 2016)
