Pain

Pain wasn’t something Christy Dignam passed through.
It stayed.

Abuse fractured things early — trust, safety, self-worth. Addiction followed, not as rebellion, but as survival. A way to numb what never healed. A way to keep going when stopping meant facing it.

The damage didn’t come neatly or leave politely. It bled into relationships, into anger, into long periods of self-destruction. It took years. It took everything at times.

This film does not excuse that pain.
It does not dress it up as tragedy or talent.
It shows what happens when wounds are carried instead of treated — and the cost of carrying them for a lifetime.

Christy lived with that cost. Loudly. Publicly. Alone at times.

Feel No Shame stays with that truth.
Because looking away is how it survives.
