6 Types Of Shamers

1.) The Affirmer: The person who actually feels shame

for you, gasps and confirms how horrified you should be.

2.) The Sympathizer: The person who responds with

sympathy (“I feel so sorry for you.”) rather than empathy (“I get it, I feel

with you and I’ve been there.”

3.) The Hero Worshiper: The person who needs you to be the pillar of worthiness and authenticity, who can’t help you because they are

too disappointed in your imperfections.”

4.) The Reprover: The person who is so uncomfortable

with vulnerability that they scold, “How did you let this happen?”

5.) The Fixer: The person who is all about making it

better, and out of their own discomfort, refuse to acknowledge that you can

actually make terrible choices (“You’re exaggerating. It wasn’t that bad.”)

6.) The One Upper: The person who confuses connection with the opportunity to one-up you. (“Well, that’s nothing. Listen what

happened to me...”)

Two Diagnostic Questions

1. (Internal)Do I Talk To Myself The Way I

Would Talk To Someone I Really Love And Respect And

Whom I’m Trying To Comfort In The Middle Of A Breakdown?

2. (External)Are My Expectations Of Others

Reasonable?

4.) Love

“If you aren’t good at loving yourself, you will have a difficult time loving anyone, since you’ll resent the time and energy you give another person that you aren’t even giving to yourself.” - Barbara De Angelis
