Brené Brown On Shame: 'It Cannot Survive Empathy'

Think just a little further.There are certainly circumstances in the life of everyone that call for regret, even shame, at their actions, o rlack thereof. But the author refers to the crippling, debilitating shame of an action that becuase of one's inability to reconcile or "recalibrate," puts a mental block on their progress in life, maybe to the point that the results defeat their attempts to better themselves, and those they care for..

SHAME, REGRET, ANGER; ALL HAVE THEIR PROPER PLACE AS MOTIVATORS TO DO BETTER, TO CHANGE, TO CURE THE RESULTS OF THE EVENT(S) AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE. THOSE MOTIVATORS WORK BEST WHEN EMPATHY PROVIDES THE OPPORTUNITY TO EXPRESS THE COMMITMENT TO CHANGE NECESSITATED BY THE UNDERLYING "SHAMEFUL" EVENTS.
