Brown’s research on shame and resilience

Brené Brown's research focuses on the emotions of shame and vulnerability and how they relate to resilience. She suggests that shame can hinder our ability to connect with others and ourselves, leading to feelings of worthlessness. However, embracing vulnerability—acknowledging our imperfections and experiences—helps foster resilience. By building connections and practicing self-compassion, we can overcome feelings of shame, leading to stronger mental health and deeper relationships. Brown's work emphasizes that recognizing and addressing shame can empower individuals to live more authentically and resiliently.
