That where shame is normal, where shame is natural, shame is part of what it is to be human, rather than recognizing shame for what it is, it's a construct. It's a construct of control and that's all it is. So first you've got to recognize that. I do have an acronym, it's called BREAK, and the first one is B, break the trance. This is really recognize that when shame comes, it's not your voice, it's like a spell, it's a trance that we're collectively under. Mm-hmm.

This is refuse to engage.
