We have really been taken by the work of Brené Brown, who wrote Daring Greatly, and has one of the most popular TED talks in existence. She has a raw, truthful and hopeful approach to presenting her research about shame and the “way through,” which is to become vulnerable – the most courageous thing any of us can do.
This is groundbreaking stuff, since our world is so full of fear, defensiveness and shame. We have found her approach quite helpful in what we do with couples, individuals, and families. One of the primary places we experience shame is in our parenting! We just wanted to pass along the resource. Daring Greatly is a life-changing read! We hope it is helpful to you.
