Freedom begins when shame stops writing the story.

Shamebreaker Coaching helps you look beneath unwanted behaviors, emotional patterns, and cycles of shame to understand what’s driving them and begin building a different way forward.

What if the thing you’ve been trying hardest to change isn’t where the story begins?

There is more underneath the patterns you’ve been fighting. Understanding what’s there can change the way you move forward.

Meet Bess

Hi, I’m Bess, founder of Shamebreaker Coaching.

I believe the behaviors we struggle hardest to change are often connected to something deeper. That’s why my approach goes beyond behavior change to help you understand the shame, wounds, beliefs, and emotional patterns that may be keeping you stuck.

With practical tools, recovery principles, and biblical truth, I help people move out of hiding and toward greater understanding, responsibility, and freedom.

The behavior is rarely the whole story.

At Shamebreaker, we look beyond what you’re doing to understand what’s driving it. Not to excuse the behavior, but to help you address it at the source and build lasting change.

WHAT YOU SEE
Pornography · Masturbation · Perfectionism · Control · Hiding · Emotional Overwhelm

WHAT MAY BE UNDERNEATH
Shame · Pain · Fear · Abandonment · Unmet Needs · False Beliefs

WHAT WE WORK TOWARD
Understanding · Responsibility · New Patterns · Connection · Truth · Freedom

We help you change the belief systems underneath your behaviors so you can walk in real freedom.

I believe real change is more than possible for you.

I know what it means to love Jesus sincerely and still have places in your life you desperately want to change. I believed there was something hopelessly wrong with me because I struggled with sexual addiction and debilitating fear of abandonment. Little did I know my belief systems about God, myself and others was fueling a cruel cycle of sin and addiction.

Now I teach people how to walk the path to real freedom in Jesus. It’s really possible! I can’t wait to help you.
