I Thought It Was Just Me: Women Reclaiming Power and Courage in a Culture of Shame

Brené Brown

Shame manifests itself in many ways. Addiction, perfectionism, fear and blame are just a few of the outward signs that Dr. Brené Brown discovered in her 6-year study of shame’s effects on women.

While shame is generally thought of as an emotion sequestered in the shadows of our psyches, I Thought It Was Just Me demonstrates the ways in which it is actually present in the most mundane and visible aspects of our lives—from our mental and physical health and body image to our relationships with our partners, our kids, our friends, our money, and our work.

Time

Please arrive at 18:10 for a 18:15 start sharp, so we can squeeze the most discussion out of the session :)

We will wrap up around 19:40 as the library needs us out by 19:45

There will then be an option to go for a drink at a nearby pub if anyone is interested.

As always please feel free to contact me with any questions etc, or post on the group wall.
