SHAME: GESTALT PERSPECTIVE

Summary/Abstract: In this short paper the aim is to try to open window towards understanding of shame and his role in life. The idea is to point out the causes of shame, the distinction between haelthy and toxic shame and guilt trough perspective of the Gestalt approach. Several topics will be opened for reflection and perspectives about shame. The first is the distinction between shame and embarrassment. This topic itself requires separate work and deep immersion in understanding the difference. Furthermore, in this papaer, we will look at the origun of the feeling of shame through the prism of the psychosocial delevopment of man in childhood, the development of shame and make us aware of the difference between the healty and the toxic part of it. This paper also mentions the reasons that, within the framework of th action of shame, give person the feeling of worthlessness, failure and immaturity in the role of a human being. We will see how shame represents a person’s inner identity and how it forms relationships with the enviroment. The paper also touches on the relationship between shame and guilt and looks at their mutual connection. This is also a topic that calls for special research much deeper than was possible in this paper. At the end, we will see what are therapeutic ways to approach this topic and how to understand this condition.
