Dr. Kelly Martin Schuh shares what she learned from Brene Brown on overcoming shame. Women with herpes are following these same easy steps to overcome their herpes diagnosis.

1. Talk to yourself like you would a loved one– Dr. Kelly adds to this tip. If you find yourself speaking like a “gremlin”, say “cancel that” to yourself and replace it with a positive thought

2. Reach out to someone you trust-  Dr. Kelly also advises NOT to choose someone who is known to be judgmental.

3. Share your story this is truly the first huge step to overcoming the emotional burdens that a herpes diagnosis brings. As Brene Brown teaches, shame grows exponentially in the environment of secrets. When you can share your story, like women do on Pink Tent™, you can begin to shine a light on your deepest, darkest secrets. This is a huge step for women who want to overcome the stigma and shame so closely linked to a herpes diagnosis.

    Hi Dr. Kelly,

    I like what you said about overcoming shame about herpes. I have found it helpful when I share it with a friend. It is like a release.

    Thank you

    I recently shared my big dark secret with a few girlfriends and it really was a release. I have been hoarding the secret for 6 years and it has become an astronomical burden. It felt really good to actually talk about it and not keep it a secret anymore.

    I got test results back and I have herpes! Omg I cried like a baby. I never had an STD. And for me to get this something I have to live with is scary. My partner say he don’t have any symptoms. I’m confused why not he gave to me.
