Guilt, shame and fear over using a program to help you overcome guilt shame and fear is someone trying subconsciously to hold on to guilt shame and fear!

Now why would you do that? Either of you?

For me, I don't think it's so deep as that. I simply feel silly using such a program designed to remove severe emotional traumas and fears etc. that are far more legitimate than simply being nervous about girls. I feel silly using such a program when others have real problems. I do feel "first world problems" indeed, lol.

Seeing some of the other E2 journals has opened my eyes up to the huge disparity. Made me realise how silly it is, compared to such serious life problems. Things are nowhere near as bad for me, nowhere near. That's a good realisation in a way.

I'm not saying you're wrong, but shame hides itself very well. And the ridiculous thing is you can have shame about having shame and from there it becomes even harder to uncover it because you'll make all these rationalizations for why you don't have internalized shame. Just something to keep in mind.

How you felt any Anger while listening to E2 ? For example, I realize that I am getting Angry over people from the past; from Relatives to friends to past girlfriends; Basically, Anger over their expectations of me.... And, I failed their expectations ... therefore, giving me a 'Guilt trip.' So Perhaps, there may be multiple choice answers regarding, 'Overcoming Guilt, Fear and Shame'
