WOW! Thanks. This gets me to consider the role of shame in writing. How it works in each of us. Is it a goad to help us find redemption or self-compassion? Is it self-flagellation or confession and expiation? It might be different with each story. Maybe we don't need to know, but shame, I'm thinking now "will out." It wants to be transformed.

I agree about transform. Neither narrator will we see smiling on a mental health wellness ad. And that said, exploration is compelling. There can be the search to transform. There can be the compulsion for further shame.
