Specialist Clinical Psychologist Ece Cemre Gökpınar states that the feeling of shame provides self-control and regulates a person's social behaviors, saying, “For this reason, you would not engage in a behavior that would make you feel shame in an environment.” Gökpınar emphasizes that the feeling of shame can cause social phobia and warns that those unaware of their social phobia may face difficulties such as being unable to perform their work, go out, or socialize. Specialist Clinical Psychologist Ece Cemre Gökpınar from Üsküdar Üniversitesi NP Feneryolu Medical Center provided information about social phobia caused by the feeling of shame and methods to cope with these emotions. Shame is an ordinary and natural emotion Specialist Clinical Psychologist Ece Cemre Gökpınar, stating that shame is often considered a negative concept, said, “It is often conveyed as if it's an emotion or concept that shouldn't exist. On the contrary, it is an extremely ordinary and natural emotion. In fact, it is often one of the emotions that should be present. Therefore, it is important to consider it not as a negative emotion, but as an existing and necessary one. We often observe that clients and patients develop an expectation as if this emotion should not exist.” Our emotions determine our behaviors Emphasizing that the feeling of shame provides self-control and controls a person's social behaviors, Gökpınar said, “It is an emotion that reminds us where and why a certain behavior should not be done. What determines our behaviors is often our emotions. So, if you feel or think you will feel shame in an environment, you will not perform that behavior. Fear, shame, anxiety, stress – these are emotions that protect people and give clues about what we should and should not do. The important thing is to be able to grasp these emotions.” Shame manifests both physical and psychological symptoms Gökpınar also touched upon the reactions a person gives when ashamed, stating, “Physical symptoms such as trembling hands, blushing face, increased heart rate, voice tremors, and inability to control breathing may appear. Psychological symptoms that actually trigger thoughts, such as the idea ‘the other person will see me as inadequate’ and the feeling of ‘I'm humiliated,’ are also observed.” The feeling of shame causes anxiety of disapproval Specialist Clinical Psychologist Ece Cemre Gökpınar, drawing attention to the important aspects of shame for everyone regarding how a person looks or how people perceive them, said, “For some, it's about success; for others, it's physically oriented. Everyone has a certain level of need to be liked and approved. In social environments, concepts such as being disliked and disapproved, which are the opposite of being liked, are important. With the feeling of shame, we experience anxieties such as not being approved and being excluded.” The thought that things will go wrong leads to social phobia Gökpınar stated that social phobia is a person's fear of the feeling of shame or the thought that things will go wrong, saying, “The person experiences anxiety thinking, ‘What if my face blushes, what if people think I'm inadequate?’ They don't experience anxiety after something happens, but rather in anticipation of it happening.” Gökpınar added that due to the anxieties experienced, declines in functionality may be observed in social activities or professional life, and stated that such situations can be treated with psychotherapy or, if necessary, psychiatric medication intervention. Those unaware of their social phobia start experiencing functional losses in all areas Specialist Clinical Psychologist Ece Cemre Gökpınar noted that Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is one of the applied treatment methods and concluded her words as follows: “In these therapies, we address both the thought dimension, which we call consciousness, and the behavioral dimension, which we call avoidance. It is a therapy method where we gradually expose the person to the anxiety they experience, give assignments, work on the experienced anxiety, and evaluate their psychology related to anxiety. If a person is unaware of their social phobia and avoids treatment, they will eventually begin to experience functional losses in professional, social, family, and academic areas. They will encounter difficulties such as being unable to perform their work, go out, or socialize.” DOI number: [https://doi.org/10.32739/uha.id.38353](https://doi.org/10.32739/uha.id.38353) ## Akademik Referans DOI: [https://doi.org/10.32739/uha.id.38353](https://doi.org/10.32739/uha.id.38353) --- *Kaynak: [Üsküdar Haber Ajansı](https://uha.com.tr) — https://uha.com.tr/sense-of-shame-leads-to-anxiety-of-disapproval*
