Shame Resilience with Jen Kind, LPC

Is shame keeping you from recognizing your value? In this episode, Brodie talks with Jennifer Kind, LPC, CDWF, EPC, a Psychotherapist and coach in Portland, OR who works with people cultivating more shame resilience, self-acceptance, and the ability to be kinder to themselves and others. Jen believes shame holds people back; it is not a good motivator for change. Shames breeds fear, anxiety, depression, and paralysis. It keeps us from becoming who we are; it keeps us from living our truth.     In this episode, we explore:   The ways shame holds us back Unhealthy cultural attitudes about vulnerability How there can be no courage without vulnerability Ways shame can manifest in our bodies and emotions Ways to build resilience against shame The connection between shame and body image     Resources:   Jen's Website Jen's Facebook Page Jen's Twitter Brené Brown's Ted Talk: The Power of Vulnerability
