Brene Brown has a PhD in social work. She conducts research on shame, vulnerability, and leadership, and she teaches at the University of Houston. Her latest book is Atlas of the Heart. I give this book four stars out of five. I really enjoyed it. The only reason that I’m not giving it five is there are some areas of the book where I think she could have gone into a little bit more detail about some of the emotions... Read more

We hear this word all the time, bias, but what does it actually mean? It means we favor or don’t favor a certain belief, person, group of people or activity over another. And this favoring is not based in reasoning, but instead based in assumptions–probably faulty assumptions. Cognitive bias has to do with having biases in our thinking. This means we favor a certain belief, or we favor a certain idea, or a certain choice. This favoring we can think... Read more

A study published in 2015 showed 89% of American women are dissatisfied with their bodies, and 84% of those women want to be thinner. I had to take pause when I read that. That is very high. This is becoming more of a global experience. Years prior, the studies were showing that body dissatisfaction was more isolated to certain cultures and countries, but now it’s a global issue, and I would imagine a lot of that has to do with...

Why Identifying Your Emotions Helps You Feel More Empowered

The Emotional Clusters is the single most effective tool that I use during coaching. When people begin coaching with me, their emotional vocabulary is usually limited. Most of us know when we’re angry, and we know when we are sad, and we know when we’re happy. But beyond that being able to name specific emotions such as disgust, responsible, hesitant, pressured, yearning, or hopeless does not usually come naturally. However, if we can use our mindfulness abilities to take pause,... Read more

Intrusive thoughts are unwanted thoughts or images or impulses, and they can sometimes make us question our stability. They might make us question our mental health, not to mention cause feelings of shame. Ninety percent of the population experiences intrusive thoughts.

Understanding the Fawning Response During Sexual Assault

Last updated on: April 3, 2023 at 10:02 pm By Sarah Vallely

Our sympathetic nervous system gets triggered due to physical or emotional threats, and we go into either fight, flight, freeze or fawn response. The fawn response means we try to survive by becoming more appealing to the threat. The Fawn response was first coined by psychotherapist, Pete Walker, in his book Complex PTSD: From Surviving to Thriving. It’s important to mention, Pete Walker is a marriage and family therapist. This is pertinent because we develop a fawning response if our... Read more

Enneagram is a personality typing tool. It’s rooted in ancient knowledge traditions. It’s been around since about 330 AD.

The figure that we’re talking about here is a circle. There are nine types, numbers one through nine. They’re next to each other on the circle as you go around. The Enneagram... Read more
