Shame in Recovery: An Unwelcome Visitor at the Holidays

Jennifer Storm, in her book Awakening Blackout Girl: A Survivor's Guide for Healing from Addiction and Sexual Trauma, brings us along on her journey through trauma and recovery, showing us how shame has shaped her experiences through it all - and still today. She reminds us that though we will make mistakes and need to make amends again and again in life, we don't have to let shame control us.
