BOOK CLUB: Let’s Talk Brene Brown

Hi everyone .....

This is the Brene Brown book I am reading at the moment. Someone introduced me to Brene’s (Brenay) Ted talks last year .... and I love her work ..... although my muddle has placed me where it’s hard to focus on reading ..... much easier to watch .....

@CheerBear @Teej @Maggie @Phoenix_Rising @mudsum @Former-Member @Former-Member @Sans911 @Former-Member ..... and anyone else interested .....

Brene is all about vulnerability, and that is so personally challenging that I don’t want to presume on anybody, and have just tagged those of you who seem to have already shown an interest.

@CheerBearThe Rising Strong One.

I have to finish the Babette Roschild one - 8 Keys to safe trauma recovery which is actually a great book. My psychologist suggested I read it.

I struggle with concentration these days so hopefully get to it soon!!!

Babette is the fizzy drink person @Former-Member 🙂 Good stuff!

I'm still listening to my audiobook. It's a great one, but it has to be the right time I think (which is hasn't been for the last couple of days).

@Faith-and-Hopewell I did see that Elephant painting you did and that was amazing, but I do agree that you need to be in the correct headspace to paint, read, craft, etc.

@CheerBearnever listened to audio books but might be the way to go. Sorry to hear the last few days have been not so good for you

Hi @Former-Member ..... I would have loved that elephant painting to be mine, but it wasn’t in fact ..... it is something I am capable of though ..... and I would like to explore more use of colour like that. Think I will with mixed media when I am over east, because setting up to oil paint is going to be too difficult there. I haven’t dabbled with watercolour pencils yet, but I do like black 8nk sketches accented with watercolours.

I have bought a book of calligraphy styles ..... I am thinking to do some paintings / ink sketches, then write Brene Brown quotes into them. I think that will be cool, and will suit the living space there.

During my Psychodrama Training we worked with the power of VULNERABILITY. That was late 1980s.

Apparently the nephew of Moreno does a lot of work in the States.

It is good to see the ideas about in mainstream now.

I dont mind Brene's TED talks.

Thinking this one would sit well on the DBT page too.

/and just quietly what is this calm she speaks of, does it come in different colours and how much does it cost? 😂😝.

I'm working on it. Calm and I will be best friends one day and emotional reactivity and I hope to become strangers 💜🤗💐

Re: BOOK CLUB: Let’s Talk Brene Brown

My book arrived today ... The Gifts of Imperfection. I’m hoping my brain will cooperate enough over the weekend so that I can at least have a little flick through it.

Any parcels at your place yet, @Maggie? 🌷
