Breaking the Shackles of Shame All of life is grounded in truth and lies. Jesus said, “I am the truth” (John 14:6). Not, “I will show you the truth,” or “I always tell the truth.” Jesus said that He IS TRUTH. He is the hinge that swings the door of our lives. He is the reason and purpose of our existence. All of our relationships should reflect this. But, of course, they don’t. Why? Because the path we walk on after salvation, the path of Truth, is littered and obstructed with lies. This training is about learning to recognize the lies and to replace them with Truth. It will show you how to recognize the shame, understand what it is in light of God’s grace, and know the reality of God’s deep love for you. Advocate Lessons Lesson 1: What Does Healing Look Like? – 23min. Are you someone with whom women share their problems readily? Or do you have things in your past that swirl around in your head but you don’t know how to find resolution? You know that there is healing but you don’t know what it looks like or how to get there. This chapter lays out an overview of what the steps are to healing. They are not necessarily chronological but they are all necessary to find peace and freedom. If you are someone who wants to help other women find this, you will finally understand the path it takes. This is the beginning of you becoming a Heart Helper. If you are looking for healing, this will give you hope that it, indeed, is attainable. This lays out the overview that is then unpacked in the rest of the teachings. Lesson 2: Learning to Recognize Shame – 20min. This is your introduction to the concept of Shame. It is different than our normal understanding of the word, “shame.”This chapter answers the questions, what is shame, how is it different than guilt, how do you get shame, are there different levels of shame, and so much more. This understanding is foundational to the rest of the teaching. Lesson 3: The Fingerprints of Shame – 29min. Once you understand and can recognize shame, you need to understand the outworking of it in one’s life. There are fingerprints that are unique and telling. This chapter explains those“fingerprints.” It is full of aha moments as you start putting together what you have learned and begin to understand the enormity of the impact of shame in lives all around us as well as our own. Lesson 4: What is the Truth? – 26min. We see life and ourselves in it through a lens. The lens is clear when truth is our foundation. But most often our lens is distorted by the past. In Christ, we know the truth we are supposed to believe. But often it is head knowledge, and the lies of our childhood are the lens through which we see the world and our value. Those lies inform our attitudes, relationships, and sense of self. This chapter helps you identify the lies and replace them with truth. It is the beginning of a lifelong practice. Lesson 5: Emotions – 20min. A full range of emotions is part of the human makeup. They flow with joy over seeing a grandchild for the first time, laughter as your friend and you spend good times together, sadness over loss, anger over injustice, etc. In a healthy home, appropriate emotions are observed and absorbed by children. But what happens when there aren’t appropriate emotional responses, and how do you undo those messages and open up your emotional heart? This chapter helps in very practical ways to explain and equip you to learn healthy emotions. Lesson 6: Replacing the Lies with Truth – 25min. Memories are born out of a physiological process in our brains. Memory pathways are formed through experiences which then trigger emotionally pleasurable or fearful responses. The first step to replacing the memories that are packed with lies about your value is to understand how they take root in your brain. The second step is to understand how to replace them with Truth. First comes the understanding and then the work. Yet, through this process, there is freedom from the past and the tyranny of the memories. Lesson 7: The Little Girl Inside – 21min. It doesn’t matter if I was sitting across from a professional woman or a harried mom. When we get to this point, they are shocked that I know they emotionally feel like they are still a little girl – scared and insecure. Children arrest emotionally when there is trauma.
