Shame Resilience

What Shame is: Shame is a painful emotion characterized by feelings of inadequacy and unworthiness. It can stem from various experiences, such as mistakes, failures, or perceived shortcomings. Shame can be a powerful and isolating emotion, often leading to secrecy, silence, and judgment. 

What Shame Resilience is: Shame resilience, developed by Brené Brown, is the ability to acknowledge and understand shame, rather than letting it control you. It's about developing strategies to cope with shame in a healthy and constructive way, ultimately fostering self-compassion and connection.
