Guest guest Posted December 21, 2012 Report Share Posted December 21, 2012 I have read " daring greatly " by Brene brown this week. It is all about being authentic, vulnerable (in a positive sense) and belonging, and what gets in the way. she talks about it from the angle of developing what she calls shame resilience. she gives fantastic definitions of all the really hard to define words. these kinds of books often are hard for me to read becasue when she talks about how we should teach our children these values I feel sad because I was bludgeoned with shame so much. but this book explained Nada's behaviors in such a way and she tied them to shame in a way I had never thought of, and it helped me depersonalize her behavior more than ever before. and it uses humor to describe the behaviors, which I found really helpful because I have been trying to find ways to depersonalize the behavior in the moment, and this book provided some fantastic visuals for some really difficult behaviors I often encounter with Nada. I think it is a wonderful book about developing feelings of worthiness I know we all crave. I wish you all well on your journeys, I am so grateful to be understood.
