Hi All,
Here’s my new article that explores some ways that I’ve found to be effective in getting free of experiencing guilt and shame.
Best wishes,

Dear Michael,
Thank you for your compassionate & emphatic, caring articles. I can relate to each one of them. I have Bi-Polar disorder & PTSD am a 51 yr old female & have also very recently been diagnosed with Tourettes Syndrome (how that happened at my age I have no idea.) Anyway, as someone who lives with quilt & shame everyday & not even knowing ‘self love’ I really enjoyed this article & will start applying it to my daily living. I do not believe in self pity or loathing (as these are defeaters in themselves.) I just wanted to take a monent to again, thank you & to voice what an incredible person & Dr you are.
Best wishes,
R Smith
Thank you very much for writing, Rebecca. I’m glad this article and something else I’ve written might be helpful to you. Please feel free to contact me at michael.cornwall@att.net if you want to ask questions or let me know how you’re doing as you feel less and guilt and shame.
Best wishes,
Michael
I’m not sure if it’s guilt or shame (or both) but I certainly feel a lot of grief when I remember hitting my son when he was young. He was (and still is) beautiful and I thought he was the most wonderful child in the world – but still I spanked him and it breaks my heart to think of it.
Hi Cedar,
It’s never too late to embrace healing remorse, which I hear you are feeling in your grief, then we can make amends and turn away from feeling shame and guilt inside – and feel some merciful self forgiveness and self love.
Best wishes,
Michael
