Shame is rarely—if ever—the presenting problem for clients entering therapy. It is, however, frequently a complication that occurs alongside the presenting problem. Because shame is almost never the only problem, it is important that therapists know how to work with it in the context of other problems; therapists need a way of dealing with their clients’ shame and addressing related disorders at the same time.

An imprisoned individual is deprived of the very things he needs most in the world. He is deprived of his family, loved ones, and his material possessions. Lacking being able to do what he pleases, the imprisoned individual quickly loses the sense of purpose in his life, thus psychologically as well as physically inhibiting himself from moving forward. He loses a sense of his self and self-worth. A prisoner suffers and anguishes over his limited freedoms—and most rightly so.

Guilt can't always stop somebody from doing wrong things, and those times are when the alternative seems worse.

The adult lady killed a construction worker, while on her way to a party. The thing is she was driving drunk, and due to her drunkenness, she didn’t notice the “construction ahead” signs. As a result, she ran over a construction worker, who after being severely injured, didn’t survive. So you might be thinking that justice was made and that’s the end of it.
