Overcoming Shame Worksheet for Trauma Overview
Trauma can leave deep marks on how we see ourselves, often creating feelings of shame that can be hard to escape. This shame can come from the idea that we’re somehow at fault for what happened or that we’re not worthy or good enough because of it. These feelings are a natural response to trauma, but they can keep us stuck, making it harder to heal and feel good about ourselves.
Overcoming this kind of shame is an important step in moving forward. By learning to notice and challenge these beliefs, we can start to see ourselves with more kindness and care. Through creative exercises like drawing your “shame monster” and practicing self-compassion, this worksheet will guide you in exploring feelings of shame and finding healthier ways to cope.
In this overcoming shame worksheet, we’ll cover the following:
- Identifying Shame
- Drawing Your Shame Monster
- Answering Journal Questions for Reflection
