Anger, Shame, and Self-Criticism
Transforming Inner Conflict...
Many people carry harsh inner voices, deep shame, and buried anger. These emotions often stem from experiences where needs were unmet, boundaries were crossed, or your worth was questioned.
At The Nest, we understand these parts not as problems, but as protectors. Healing means listening, honoring, and transforming what those parts are trying to express.
Understanding These Emotions
Therapy for Inner Shame in Connecticut
You may find yourself stuck in self-criticism, feeling like nothing you do is enough.
You may feel intense guilt, or like you're always angry beneath the surface.
You might feel embarrassed about your emotions, pushing them down or turning them inward.
These patterns often come from environments where anger or sadness weren't safe to express.
