Shields Against Vulnerability

Brene Brown talks about common shields that we use against vulnerability in her book, "Daring Greatly." In the life of a pain patient, or someone suffering with illness, these shields seem very attractive. Here are some of the shields she mentions in this book, if they resonate with you, might be something worth reading.

1. Foreboding Joy: Gratitude

2. Perfectionism: Finding Dignity in the Work

3. Numbing: Lean into Discomfort

4. Viking or Victim: Redefine Success

5. Over Sharing: Setting Boundaries in order to Cultivate Connection

6. Cynicism and Criticism: Reality Check
