"Si podemos compartir nuestra historia con alguien que responda con empatía y comprensión, la vergüenza no puede sobrevivir."

Simplified Meaning:
When you tell your personal story to someone who listens with kindness and tries to understand your feelings, the feelings of shame and embarrassment start to go away. Imagine you made a big mistake at work and feel very bad about it. If you keep this mistake to yourself, you might feel alone and ashamed. But if you talk to a friend who listens carefully and supports you, you’ll feel relieved and less ashamed. This is because sharing your difficult experiences with someone who cares helps to lighten the emotional burden. So, next time you feel ashamed about something, find someone trustworthy to talk to; it can make a big difference in how you feel.
