'Holding Accountable ≠ Shaming and Punishing

To stop wrongdoing long-term, people have to take a hard look at themselves and change the root cause of the wrongdoing, deep inside themselves.

Deep change requires feeling safe.

Feeling shame is the opposite of feeling safe.

Though consequences are sometimes needed to motivate certain people to begin the accountability process, compassion aids the accountability process.'
