I'm Ashamed Of My Past...What Do I Do?

Are you ashamed of your past? Do you often have sleepless nights where you can't help but think of that thing or things that you've done in a previous chapter of your life that made you dislike or even hate yourself?

We all have been or going through this experience. The shame, the guilt, and the pain sometimes get too much for us to handle, and that sometimes leaks out into our relationships and our way of being in the world.

In intimate relationships, we're sometimes often faced with the dilemma of opening everything up to our partners for fear of rejection and abandonment. But is hiding who we really are the solution? Does it have benefits? What good will it do? What are the consequences?
