WHAT IS SHAME + Why Share?

"I define shame as the intensely painful feeling or experience of believing that we are flawed and therefore unworthy of love and belonging – something we’ve experienced, done, or failed to do makes us unworthy of connection." - Brené Brown

Brené Brown, a shame and vulnerability researcher, has an amazing TedTalk called Listening to Shame which has over 16 million views.  Brené has found that shame is what causes disconnection and vulnerability is about showing up and being seen.

So how do we create connection?  We listen to shame.
We find the courage to be vulnerable.
 

BRENE'S THREE TIPS FOR

stopping the spiral of shame.

  1. Talk to yourself as you would talk to a friend.

  2. Reach out to someone you trust.

  3. Tell your story*.

*TELL YOUR STORY


It's completely 100% anonymous. No one will know the source, no data is collected.

Share an experience which makes you feel shame.  Shame is not helpful or productive and more often destructive.  Consider this shame therapy.  Share your story and put it in the "shame trash can". 

The more we all realize how much we all have in common, the less we will shameful about our common experiences.  We just don't know how common they are yet, because we don't share them. 

Dare to be vulnerable.  Have to courage to be imperfect.  Shed the shame.
