"Shame cannot hold on when we name it." I love this. I also love the distinction between saying "I am embarrassed" vs "I feel shame." Thank you Brene...I love your work and use it often in my own (I work in mental health)
This is all very interesting and beautiful. But let's get real here. Some people around us(specially those with power) are just not willing to take a chance and show others their vulnerabilities. Just try being all this humane in a tough corporate environment and you will be eaten alive. It's much more effective and safe to speak to people's narcissism than to people's empathy because they can be too far self-alienated from that to not just screw you while you're trying to act human.
This is a classic for me. It gets me excited to hear such clearity on the subject. Shame molds us with out our conscious understanding. The more we can name and release that shame, the more we can find our authenitic self.
This girl has an annoying ass voice she needs to get her ass in the kitchen and work on my damn sandwich and grab me a beer.
