Carl Jung once said that "Shame is a soul-eating emotion."
And he was correct.
If we look closely enough at our negative emotions, we'll quickly recognize that the root causes are almost always rooted in shame.
Men in our culture deal with many different types of shame. I believe that Robert Augustus Masters said it best in the following quote from his book To Be A Man: A Guide To True Masculine Power:
Shame is probably our most hidden and misunderstood emotion. It's also the one most likely to motivate men to stay away from the help they need-and need to admit they need-which can range from psychotherapy to addiction programs. Performance anxiety is driven by shame; so is the drive to overachieve; so is the pressure to man up. Shame is behind the scenes much more often than you might think.
To become better men, we must learn to identify the shame we're experiencing. We must bring it to light, and become familiar with it.
This allows us to shine a light on the demons that haunt us. It gives us power over them, and the self-awareness required to heal and move forward.
