Kids who grow up in families where emotional needs are not validated and met often develop a deep sense of internal shame for having needs at all. Over time, to cope, many of these kids become adults with little or no capacity to experience their emotions. This illustration explores Hilary Jacobs Hendel's work on chronic shame.

Suggested Uses: Mental health professionals may find this tool especially helpful with clients who may have experienced emotional neglect, are navigating chronic shame, or who may be experiencing alexithymia.
