Self Worth vs. Genital Warts

Our guest in this episode talks a lot about the limiting beliefs that made dealing with HPV and genital warts so difficult. She felt ashamed of herself to the extent that she suffered in secrecy during the most difficult parts of uncertainty, diagnosis and treatment. She eventually disclosed to a friend and was met with grace and acceptance, and has great advice to share with those who may be struggling with a similar thing. It's one thing to have to manage an STI, but it's another to do it alone and maintain a strong sense of self-worth and confidence. Sometimes the worst STI we can give another person is shame.
