SHAME + NARCISSISM = SEX ADDICTION. Too simplistic? Maybe,
but it is a good place to start, if you want to better understand
the reason for the activities - as an outlet for Shame &
Narcissism.

Try hard to come out from under the umbrella of covering that
Shame provides - but is unseen. It covers the Addict and a
partner. It keeps them hidden and in hiding. yet, the antidote to
shame is to come out of hiding. But it is vital that the 'coming
out of hiding' is into the right forum and/or individuals.

The wrong forum or individuals, will cause or contribute to an
adverse and unhelpful increase in Shame - which causes
individuals to quickly scurry back into hiding and not come back
out for a very long time.

Shame is a conundrum for some cultures - such as Asians - because
Shame arises when the individual in that community has not lived
up to the community's rules and expectations. Asian (and those
with a similar culture) prides itself on collectivist,
interdependence, social harmony and group cohesion. The "we" is
paramount.

It does function to build group harmony and unity; but can also
be an intolerable burden, tied to fear of rejection, exposure,
ostracising and loss of both family and cultural community
support; where Asians put a high value on the harmonious
integration of group members. The fear is that one's inadequacies
(exposed) will result in loss of union within the group or
expulsion from the group.

Such cultures experience Shame of one's actions in the broader
context of 'individuality' and 'collectively/(the broader
community group). Upholding the concept of 'cultural honour' is
of paramount importance. Therefore a learned response is to
suppress emotions and personal inadequacies and problems. Sex
addicts are locked into silence.

Shame loves that and will thrive - rubbing its metaphorical hands
- with glee and delight.

Let The Kairos Centre show you where and how to come out of
hiding and thereby break the back of Shame. Something also about
'Compassion'.
