The power of vulnerability | Brené Brown

Brené Brown studies human connection -- our ability to empathize, belong, love. In a poignant, funny talk at TEDxHouston, she shares a deep insight from her ...

TAKEAWAYS:

Connection is why we’re here. Shame stops connection. Shame is: …the fear of disconnection, …the feeling of “I’m not _____ enough,” …the idea of “Is there something about me that if people know it or see it, that I wont be worthy of connection?”

There are people who struggle for love and belonging, and then there are The Whole Hearted. The Whole Hearted are people who: 1. Have the courage to be imperfect, 2. Practice compassion and kindness for themselves and others, 3. Have connections that are a result of authenticity, 4. Fully embrace vulnerability.

For those of us who do NOT embrace vulnerability, we… …numb ourselves (with food, alcohol, drugs, social media, video games, etc.), …perfect everything around us, …deny, …avoid, …distract, …overpower others, …control others and control circumstances…

Dr. Brene Brown’s advice: 1. Let yourself be “seen,” deeply seen. 2. Love with your whole heart, even with no guarantees. 3. Practice gratitude and joy, even in moments of terror. 4. Believe that you are enough.
