A. J. Bond is a writer, filmmaker, and self-described "shame breakthrusiast," creator of the podcast and shame education platform Discomfortable. Bond is currently undergoing certification as a shame healing practitioner from the Center for Healing Shame in Berkeley, CA, and has conducted meetups, workshops, and public talks through conferences like the World Domination Summit and others. Bond's goal with Discomfortable is to make the subject of shame as ubiquitous, accessible, and entertaining as possible in the hopes that others can find the same sense of relief, liberation, and purpose that he experienced through his own "shame breakthrough."
"Conveyed through personalized psychological insights,
[Discomfortable] pairs its topical explorations of shame with
tender, funny revelations, resulting in an approachable, earnest
guidebook to living a more authentic life."
—Foreword Reviews
“Being able to handle shame is a superpower. I recommend this book
to anyone that wants to feel bolder, genuinely free, and
empowered.”
—Liv Larsson, author of Anger, Guilt and Shame and Nonviolent
Communication trainer and mediator
“Bond writes beautifully about his personal journey of
self-discovery and growth and sheds much light on the universal
experience of shame as ‘emotional kryptonite.’”
—Sheila Rubin and Bret Lyon, cofounders and codirectors of the
Center for Healing Shame
“A.J. Bond’s almost obsessive focus on seeing the world through the
lens of shame provides many fascinating insights into both the
obvious and hidden role that shame plays in our culture and
individual lives. His book is a wonderful balance of
autobiographical sharing interwoven with summaries of the academic
influences that have helped him understand and heal from his own
lifelong relationship to shame. A captivating and intriguing read
for anyone dealing with the lingering effects of chronic shame in
their life.”
—Dr. Douglas J Tataryn, originator of the Bio-Emotive Framework
