When you know the shame is old but still collapse into it

I am starting to understand that when I mess up at work, it yanks on something much older than the mistake. I can name it now, this old shame that comes flooding in. But naming it does not stop it yet; when the failure actually lands, I still crumble under the weight of it.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

You know your failures trigger old shame, but you still collapse into it.

If this sounds familiar, the Library can help you find the bigger picture.
