Recognising Shame in the Moment PDF

A checklist worksheet that helps clients catch shame as it happens by recognising its physical, mental, and behavioural signals. Drawing on the idea that naming an emotion reduces its power, it offers a checklist of common signals, from flushing and a sinking stomach to thoughts like I am not good enough and the urge to over-apologise, then a short self-statement to use in the moment. It gives clients a practical way to pause between feeling shame and reacting to it.
