Learn how to overcome shame by finding love | Dr. Henry Cloud

Love is the key to overcoming shame. For too long, people have tried to "out-good" their feelings of shame by doing good deeds or performing better in various areas of life. But this approach does not work and can even worsen our sense of worthlessness if we don’t measure up to our own standards. The answer lies in love—not just receiving it from others but also loving ourselves unconditionally and allowing that love to fill us with a deep sense of acceptance and belonging. Dr. Henry Cloud, explains how when we are loved, the “goods” and “bads” disappear as they no longer matter; only love remains. As the Bible says, confess your faults one to another so that you may be healed – get off the treadmill of trying to out-do yourself and instead find healing through unconditional love for yourself and those around you.
