Price identifies something called 'Systemic Shame': the powerful self-message that says \u003ci\u003eI am to blame for my circumstances\u003c\/i\u003e. He explores how it traps us into fighting unwinnable battles and judging others for their failures, and how it especially affects those who are already vulnerable because they're carrying shame from a difficult past or a complicated sense of self-esteem. By unpacking the concept of 'Systemic Shame', this radically positive book shows that there is no such thing as becoming 'good enough' to be deserving of love; we must claim acceptance for ourselves.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBlending the latest social psychology, personal insights and empowering practical exercises, \u003ci\u003eUnlearning Shame\u003c\/i\u003e is a transformative guide to overcoming self-blame, unlocking self-worth and taking control of your future.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":55896467112309,"sku":"9781800961951","price":12.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Hardback","offer_id":57685769453941,"sku":"9781800961937","price":20.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9781800961951.jpg?v=1792598949"},{"product_id":"9781800960565","title":"Unmasking Autism","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eUNMASKING FOR LIFE, \u003c\/i\u003eDEVON PRICE'S NEW BOOK, IS AVAILABLE TO BUY NOW\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOVER 250,000 COPIES SOLD\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003e'Outstanding.' -\u003c\/i\u003eFern Brady, author of \u003ci\u003eStrong Female Character\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003e'Reading this felt like being at home - I didn't realise how much I masked.

They don't fit the stereotypical mould of Autism and are often forced by necessity to mask who they are, spending their entire lives trying to hide their Autistic traits. In particular, there is evidence that Autism remains significantly undiagnosed in women, people of colour, trans and gender non-conforming people, many of whom are only now starting to recognise those traits later in life.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBlending cutting-edge research, personal insights and practical exercises for self-expression, Dr Devon Price examines the phenomenon of 'masking', making a passionate argument for radical authenticity and non-conformity.
