Last night I watched Brené Brown’s Netflix special called “The Call to Courage”.
Has anyone else watched it?
I have found that shame is the #1 driver of my addictions and she does a really good job (esp. in her other works like her Tedtalks) if digging in and dealing with shame and vulnerability.
My favorite part was the concept of using the conversation tool “The story I’m making up is…”. I can’t wait to be able to use that because I am exceptionally practiced at making things up and believing them to be true and working off that thought rather than the truth.
If you have seen it let me know what you liked about it. If you haven’t, I highly recommend it!

My therapist introduced me to this and it is helpful both in the internal knowledge and communicating it to others. Sometimes I’ll say “hey, is everything ok? You seem distant and i tend to create stories in my head about what is going on”.
