Signs of Obstruction

Crippling, repetitive guilty feelings that do not instruct you or heal your relationships; or shamelessness where you are endangered by your own behavior

Channel this intense emotion to set a strong boundary and create a sacred space in which you can atone for your transgressions, amend your behaviors, throw off manufactured shame, and heal your heart and your relationships.
