Brene' Brown is simply brilliant!! Seriously encourage everyone to listen to what she has to say on Shame, Empathy and so on. Do yourself a favor today and listen to her words, evaluate how shame has played a part in your life, and reflect on ways to become more empathetic and authentic. This self reflection will do nothing but bless your life and relationships!!! For us personally the more education we get on these subjects and the harder we are working to be authentic and REAL the healthier we are and the more we heal. Studying shame has been a huge part of our recoveries, it is a painful process to look that deeply and honestly at your life and choices, but self awareness and acceptance can be so liberating and freeing. "Often, it’s not about becoming a new person, but becoming the person you were meant to be, and already are, but don’t know how to be."
I stumbled onto your site and have loved reading a few of your posts. My husband and I are huge fans of Brene Brown and how authentic she is. I don't know if you've looked into Kristin Neff and her work with Self-Compassion, but it's incredible as well. Thanks for your vulnerability.
