It took many years for Lois Hollis to overcome the physical and emotional pain she had dealt with. Along the way, she discovered areas surrounding shame and guilt that were unhealthy and has made overcoming "shame-guilt" her main focus.
Here's information directly from her website; Loishollis.com
What is shame and what is guilt? How are shame and guilt different? The popular opinion defines shame as I am bad and guilt as I did something bad. However, these definitions do not lead a person to heal from shame and guilt. I discovered that shame and guilt act together to reinforce each other. Shame and guilt are a package. I coined the word shame guilt. Shame is in the unconscious mind, and guilt is in the conscious mind. Shame reinforces guilt, and guilt reinforces shame. We can overcome shame and guilt when we see them as a conjoined package because our minds cannot understand why shame is bad and guilt is good.
I discovered that shame guilt produces all negative emotions, including but not limited to anger, depression, anxiety, addictions, traumas, etc. Shame guilt turns our positive emotions into negative ones. The shame guilt energy causes our struggles from low confidence to suicide. Since the shame guilt negative energy is within every person in every country, causing victimhood, traumas, and increased mental illness, it deserves to have its own independent study.
I can think of no other entity than shame and guilt to be exposed to help humanity become free from their homemade shame guilt prison of not being good enough. I dedicate my resources of films, articles, podcasts, individual sessions, books, and SEO to expose shame guilt for its dangerous controlling effect upon humanity. Knowledge of tricky shame guilt is the best prevention to stop shame guilt from destroying our lives. Our lack of shame guilt knowledge and their secrecy gives shame guilt power over us, and we become victims stuck in the not good enough lie. The shame guilt is NOT normal, but common.
Today Lois is busy spreading the news that we can address shame guilt directly and heal quickly from the negativity that has kept us from a successful fulfilled life.
