Book Reviews of Coming Out of Shame : Transforming Gay and Lesbian Lives
Book Review: Reveals the expectations our society has...
Summary: 4 Stars
There are spoken and unspoken expectations in America that tell you what a good, successful life should look like. This book helped me see how forces outside myself made me feel ashamed of certain feelings, thoughts, wishes, desires. The authors show how the shame becomes internalized, so that you don't need anyone else--you shame yourself. For healthy, human feelings (about a lot more than sex!). Recognizing the shame that keeps us from sharing feelings, dreams, hopes, etc. will help to lead more fulfilling lives. And help us to speak out, and live "out."
