I found this talk very well done and right on point. As an addictions counselor for many years, I am well aware of the corrosive power of shame which is the driver of all forms of addiction. Connectivity is a big part of the solution and it is entered through the door of empathy. It is wonderful that this is becoming mainstream and is available other than in therapy or the classroom in treatment. Thanks so much for putting it out there and doing it with grace and humor.

Her research is brilliant. It not only breeds empathy but self-compassion.

@angelscreationsmanagement

I learned 1:00:01 so much from this video. I been fallowing 
BrenĂ© Brown for only a year and reading her books and every time is so much material to delight 😍
Thank You đŸ™đŸœ

@jude999

This interviewer is great. He really puts the focus on her rather than himself, takes the issue seriously, and asks great questions.

@AmandaWhitleyonplus

Brilliant woman. This deserves a million thumbs up!

@aliciaswaringen5732

I believe that if everyone listened to Brene and took her advice to heart, the world could solve alot of problems very quickly!!

@samanthaguillory8618

AMAZING!  EVERYTHING SHE SAYS MAKES PERFECT SENSE AS LONG AS YOU Actually listen and try to process/comprehend the words coming out of her mouth. She breaks everything down giving her audience such a clear and vivid understanding of the logic and reasoning of the power of vulnerability based on her twelve years of research!  Facts don't lie! Thank You +Dr. Brene Brown for "stepping into the arena" and educating the world with your brilliant research!

@T_Cup

Dr. Brown has given me a lot to think about. Especially this particular note, which I related to on an almost spiritual level : "That sucks. But too bad and God is on my side." But all jokes aside, I'll definitely be coming back for a second viewing after chewing on this talk for a little while.

@manakin5

Extraordinary presentation. Dr. Brown has given a useful terminology and a real means of discussion to some vitally important concepts. Amazing stuff.

@MsGnor

Thank you for sharing this, RSA. So appreciated. Love Brené's ability to clarify these murky waters.

@Darlaa_gonz

Learning all of this has made me excited about the healing and growth in my life and specially about how I can be better to the people I love.  Thank you Brene.

@editaquadidi

Is it normal that this person just made me cry?

@maribelgonz

I was in a relationship with a person who I could not open up and share my struggles. I tried it a few times and he showed no empathy and immediately I felt shame, rejection and extreme sadness. I had to be vulnerable with others who leveled with me and provided support. This was one of the reasons why I decided we had to part ways. I chose to surround myself around people who love me because of my vulnerability and weaknesses.

@lanawebster2078

Brene, your messages are so easy and helpful to listen to....my daughter and I follow you, have your books, mention you and your work to others. This is your time! The way you speak is so genuine.  I would love to meet you, sit in your class, take you to lunch.  You are amazing.  Thank you for being you.  I too am a born and bred Texan who lives in Houston.

@shybilly3072

yes yes yes that's what I'm taking about...  I knew I was right...  VULNERABILITY is strength not weakness.....   I not afraid to be vulnerable...   it helps me on my healing journey...   thank you

When someone can emphasise with me in my situation, I feel HONOURED.

@squidamigo9713

19:50 Am I the only one who was raised to hear “bless your heart” as a positive? One of my fondest memories of my grandma is when she said it to me to express how much she loved me.

@DanielWentzel2505

Dr Brené Brown provides excellent advice and her literature comes highly recommended.
