Brene Brown's TED talk

[celeste26]

On shame and vulnerability is not aimed at the TG community but it does speak to us in a powerful way. Surprisingly everyone experiences shame at one time or another and how you deal with it is vitally important.

For those who have never heard a TED talk, they are a collection of truly brilliant folks given a short time in front of an audience (by a wealthy foundation) to say virtually whatever they want.

Brene Brown is a phd Social work expert who has written some great books:
The Gifts of Imperfection
I thought It was Just Me; (but wasn't)

I recommend both of them.

Celeste, this is really good. I remember seeing it months ago, but I'm going to watch it again. Thanks!

Huh...know what's ironic? She spoke on a certain part of what I'm currently struggling with and that is numbing myself.
