reoccurring triggers or ignited shame repeatedly. Meanwhile, this framework identifies characteristic of failure, defeat, and shame which establishes a shame profile for internal worthiness. Once these 2 components interconnect, it may illustrate and describe the framework of a person with a shame profile, the Kaufman’s shame spiral theory, and treatment strategies as an intervention for substance abuse as a preventative measure used for the housewife who drank at home.
Meanwhile, the shame profile has four dimensions that paralyzes a person with shame in ways by spreading internally through core stages of affect, need, drive, and interpersonal shame.
Distress and fears often affects how an individual’s level of self-esteem, capability, and interactions develops or begin to diminish when these scenes emerge. Basically, these elements form a compromised cluster of scenes. The shame profile begins to create an identity within the person as being defeated. Therefore, causing each individual to react differently based on different types of dispositions of shame. When being incapable of managing or to repair experiences of shame it forms (Leeming, D., & Boyle, M. 2004) qualities of shameful identities that creates the social constitution of shame to become less detectable towards avoiding strategies and to understand the personal meaning of shamefulness. For instance, persistent difficulties with shame may relate to having a quality of being noticed or display prominence of stigmatizing discourses within a specific social framework. The role it plays is to establish a collection of influential cluster of data of events causing the person to become impacted by embedding shameful …show more content…
physiognomies.
Basically, based on the concept the shame spiral identifies, it contributes to the origin of shame spiral since it creates an internal imagery of different scenarios.
Often times, the scenes may adjoin or interconnect, but then again have no reference to the previous related imagery, causing the shame spiral to resurface from a cycle of unrelated triggers to reoccur time and time again. Mainly caused by stress, unhappiness, and a sense of incompetence, these emotions may influence cluster events to impede on a person’s happiness when pertaining to their everyday life, causing their mood to decline from high to a low mood. It may cause casual substance usage to escalate more often than normal, and before the person realizes, they become dependent on this substance daily which progresses to having an addiction. Nevertheless, it repels a person’s brain since their low mood reduces their motivation, efforts, and focus to accomplish productive behavior or actions by deterring the way they normally function on a daily
basis.
Although the housewife experienced a shame spiral, the focus identifies how a person’s low mood generically classifies social interactions in everyday life (Bröer, C., & Besseling, B. 2017), and how cultural norm of happiness and active social conscience is prominent in everyday life rather or not a person has medicalized or un-medicalized interactions. Even though labeling of depression affects an individual’s low mood, it may resonate shame spiral to become extensive even if the low mood is not fully treated as a medical issue. Stress and depression may encompass all forms of low moods in individuals. Even though, the concept of interpersonal conflicts seems to be triggers for these unwarranted occurrences. The housewife who drank at home was basically confined by 2 small infants, believing that becoming an alcoholic reveals defeat, shame, and signs of failure tendencies. As the housewife’s coping mechanism, she resulted in alcohol for release from reality, which permitted her to rest from high levels of intoxication. The housewife never imaged occasional drinking for relaxation at home would lead to escalated drinking, which turned into an all day long habit. The fear of being overtaken by alcohol began to become the housewife’s concern, and that others may notice. In order to alleviate exposure, the housewife kept her personal secret by fabricating the same party story and hiding alcohol bottles throughout the house. Meanwhile, feeling defeat by alcohol, the housewife knew she needed to stop. By this time, defeat had created an unconscious awareness that the drinking had evolved into an addiction.
The background of substance use disorder has an association with impaired neurocognitive functioning, which may have a moderate chance of improving with sustained abstinence. In addition, studies indicate that sustained abstinence, after having a substance use disorder, generally results in a person having a partial neurocognitive recovery. Studies have tested for results before, during, and after sustained abstinence from substance use disorder (Schulte, M. H. & et. al 2014), and the new interventions may enhance neurocognitive recovery after abstinence along with neurocognitive training, medication, and neuromodulation. Treatment possibilities range from cognitive training to stimulating the brain.
In today’s society, individuals experience different events that causes them to behave or act differently than their regular norm. These elements spiral shame and shame profile when interconnecting how a person’s mood declines and becomes depended on a substance for relief as a coping mechanism. Often times, being unconsciously aware of how moderate substance use may rapidly escalate out of control to everyday use. Substance abuse may occur based on the theory of shame spiraling that forms from stress and depression. Meanwhile, when a person is at their lowest point in life and feels defeated by issues, it permits them to escape their fears through other methods of relief in their everyday life. The shame profile creates a low mood that may result from them encountering a spiritual crisis. By seeking treatment, individuals regain a sense of high mood and happiness to help the recovery, and realize they found more than they lost in life through treatment.
