Life lessons from Brené Brown that Therapists know all too well

Brené Brown's writings are a staple for most Counsellors and her quotes a beautiful reminder of the strength we find within, when we embrace our vulnerabilities.

Whether facing isolation from loved ones, more time to think or worry than most of us have ever experienced or the stress of an additional workload to keep others safe. Escape from a busy life and now the anxious prospect of its return or the acceptance of a "new normal" is waring. These times of uncertainty have offered us one certainty, that we must give sufficient time and energy to our mental health, wellbeing and self care. And Brené Brown's quotes will help you keep on track, every day of the week.

"Empathy has no script. There is no right way or wrong way to do it. It's simply listening, holding space, withholding judgement, emotionally connecting, and communicating that incredibly healing message of 'You're not alone.'.

"I now see how owning our story and loving ourselves through the process, is the bravest thing that we will ever do."

"Authenticity is a collection of choices that we have to make every day."

"To love ourselves and support each other in the process of becoming real is perhaps the greatest single act of daring greatly."

"You are imperfect, you are wired for struggle, but you are worthy of love and belonging."

"Talk about your failures without apologising."

"Daring to set boundaries is about having the courage to love ourselves even when we risk disappointing others."

"Courage starts with showing up and letting ourselves be seen."

"Staying vulnerable is a risk we have to take if we want to experience connection."

"We don't have to do all of it alone. We were never meant to."
