I really enjoyed Brene Brown's talk on vulnerability. I just listened to another about "Listening to Shame". Food for thought as well as entertaining. I thought I'd pass them along in the hopes that someone will enjoy them as much as I did.

Powserful insights on fear, shame, and vulnerability. Thanks for sharing. I see her definition of vulnerability empowering as something we should all embrace, I will watch both of these again with my H.

Thanks for sharing. This is very insightful and very relevant to this forum given everything I have read. I love the idea that the Key to the Way to Live a Wholehearted Life is to have Courage, Compassion & Connection with the key being vulnerability.

I had never really thought about vulnerability in the way she spoke about it. I have considered myself to be vulnerable in many ways, but realize I hide behind a shield of expected perfection. Much to think about...............................

YES! There are other videos and a web site by Brene Brown. Transcripts can be ordered.

Brene Brown. The act of numbing is not selective. We live in a culture that chooses to numb - we find our ways. I think her research speaks to both sides of the equation, our situations, whether we're on the partner's side or the recovery side. She has a book or two which are probably on Amazon.
