Liese,

Have you downloaded it and tried it out yet?

Btw; I've not heard the term 'shamestorm' before, nor dreamstorm come to that. Can anyone enlighten me?

AV,
I use shamestorm for when I get triggered and part of what floods out is this incredible, overwhelming sense of shame about how unworthy I am, what a pain I have to be, how overly needy I am, how worn out everyone must be with me, and how much happier everyone would be if I just went away... I know these are feelings from my past, but they are so overwhelming and so strong, that it feels like all you can do is hold on until the storm passes. Hope that makes sense. Shorthand to describe something I know a lot of people here would get.

Thanks AG,
Yes that makes perfect sense, and I can well understand many members here knowing exactly how you feel.

It's not something I've experienced personally and the nearest analogy I can think of would be my being triggered into a severe panic or anxiety attack and having to wait for it to pass.

"Shamestorm"....I knew there was a term for when that happens to me.I like it..Thanks AG

Such a great phrase. I thought it was you who coined it. It really captures the essence of the experience. Such a great phrase for such a shitty place.
