Consider reading/watching some of Brené Brown. She does research on shame and effective strategies to combat it. Right now I’m reading Daring Greatly but she also has some TED talks.

Was coming here to make sure someone mentions Brown's work. She's been researching vulnerability and shame for over 20 years and while sometimes I have to take breaks from her stuff because it can get too intense, she has helped me so much with finding my empathy and opening up to people. I'm reading Atlas of the Heart right now.
