About Shame No More
Inside the hearts of every human being on earth, there is a place of silent brokenness. It stays silent because most of us don’t know how to talk about it or what to do with it. It is a place that speaks to us of worthlessness and failure, keeping us bound to a narrative that we will never be good enough. This brokenness can be defined by one singular word…SHAME.
This place of shame damages our own hearts and the hearts of those closest to us. It passes down from generation to generation and creates layers of family dysfunction in us, our families, our key relationships, churches and communities.
But we were not created to be bound by shame. We were designed to thrive in the freedom of God’s GRACE! We were created with inherent worth and infinite value, indeed in the very image of God. We were made to reflect the beauty and brilliance of the God who calls us His own!
Dr. Richard Shaw is a graduate of Oklahoma Wesleyan University and currently an associate professor in the Graduate School of Counseling at George Fox University in Portland, Oregon. He is a licensed mental health counselor in Washington and a marriage and family therapist in Oregon. He has a doctorate in marriage and family therapy and owns a private practice, Shame No More Counseling.
