Carried shame: Let’s face it

Closeup of a man's forehead and eyes that express pain, fear, shame - but meet your gaze.

Through the mechanism of carried shame and carried feelings,
the unresolved pain of previous generations operates in families like an emotional debt.
We either face it
or we leverage our children with it.
– Terrence Real, I Don’t Want to Talk About It

Please, let’s face it.
