Book Synopsis
Shame can convince you that you are broken, unworthy, or impossible to love. The Shadows of Shame workbook helps you recognize the protective voices that keep those beliefs alive—and discover what lies beneath them. Created by Troy L. Love, MSW, LCSW, this Finding Peace workbook introduces six Shadows: The Judge, The Royal, The Politician, The Martyr, The Impotent One, and The Rebel. Through guided reflections and practical exercises, you will explore how attachment wounds, negative core beliefs, emotions, and unmet needs shape your reactions and relationships. Learn to notice each Shadow’s message, understand what it is trying to protect, and recognize the cost of following its lead. You will practice responding with self-compassion, honesty, healthy boundaries, and greater choice. These Shadows do not define you. Understanding them opens space to reconnect with who you are, ask for what you need, and take meaningful steps toward connection and peace. Your new chapter begins with you.
