The Shame Spiral
An event that triggers feelings of shame, embarrassment, guilt or inadequacy.
Feeling like you can’t do anything right and that you’re a failure.

Gathering evidence that all of your thoughts are true.
The urge to quit, isolate, withdraw or runaway.
Anxiety. Depression. Hopelessness.
