Per guilt vs. shame: I can't remember where I heard this, maybe it was Brene Brown? That guilt is feeling bad about something you have done, whereas shame is feeling bad about something you are.

Yes, that is one position they hold to. But spend a little time digging and you will find multiple different (and contradictory) opinions in the literature. So I think we're on pretty firm ground forming our own opinions! If you prefer Brown's to mine, that's totally fine! Hopefully, if going so, you can still understand the gist of what I'm getting at above?
