Feeling Embarrassed Directive

This week, I asked my Empathy group members to create an image about a time they felt embarrassed or humiliated. At first, some patients couldn't think of anything embarrassing that happened to them. We talked about how we sometimes repress those memories because the associated feelings can be painful to think about. I told them they should choose a memory that they felt comfortable talking about, as one patient said he didn't want to share some really embarrassing moments from his past. The patients were able to talk about their situations and feelings and relate their feelings to how their victims may have felt or still feel.
