Excerpt:
Shame
In EFT, shame is best thought of as a soup of emotion (with both secondary and primary emotions embedded in it). Shame is an adaptive coping strategy, and its purpose is to protect the person from further rejection. However, shame (especially with trauma) can become pervasive and pre-emptive. This is problematic because the action tendency of shame is to hide. When individuals “hide” in a love relationship, the bond suffers. Shame wreaks havoc on love. EFT clinicians are careful to not heighten shame.
