Overcoming the Voices of Judgment

Shame often feels like an invisible force holding us back. It manifests as a dragon—a fierce, fire-breathing creature fueled by the external judgments, expectations, and voices of others. These external influences, whether from the media, family, friends, or society, create a narrative that can weigh heavily on our self-worth. Over time, we internalize these voices, making them feel like part of us. It’s time to face this dragon and reclaim our authentic selves.

My Shame Dragon reared its head with empty eyes, venomous fangs, battle-worn scales, and talons striking me down. Her heavy tail spiked my heart… and grew into the space I provided, leaving no room for hope; this dragon I had to slay. And I had the time. I began to dig into old wounds, and as I worked to discard misconceptions, my confidence emerged. Self-worth became my sword, and there, in prison, I began the crusade to slay that dragon.
