I can really feel this- shame is still a big thing for me. Can you maybe try to go at your own pace. I usually ask him to look away/ cover his eyes. I've also acted like a child and completely covered my face with a blanket on one occasion.
What matter's is that you're there.
John Bradshaw had this book called "healing the shame that binds you" . I liked it because sometimes it's not always from
us.
