Summary
Christian psychiatrist Curt Thompson believes that we are all infected with a spiritual disease called shame. Whether we realize it or not, shame affects every aspect of our personal lives and vocational endeavors. Thompson unpacks the soul of shame, revealing its pervasive nature and neurobiological roots. He also provides the theological and practical tools necessary to dismantle shame, based on years of researching its damaging effects and counseling people to overcome those wounds.
