You are a remarkable young person. To have the self awareness at such a young age and to be making steps to overcome your issues is so huge. I commend you, am proud of you, and wish you the best. You will go far in life! Btw, today I learned (in a trauma informed training) that bearing witness, listening to others and helping them by telling your story, is the best way to heal yourself. It certainly has helped me. Good luck!

[@TheChildofthevine]

When I was in High School, I will never forget sitting across from the Advisor who said to me, "You are not college material." She was College Educated, and my 16 year old self thought, well, she should know....and for most of my life I believed that I just would never be SMART ENOUGH. Talk about how SHAME affects us for a lifetime!

Lori Taylor-Schulte best comment Mr Hernandez was his name and I was 17 yrs old. I'm not excusing, blaming, justifying. I'm just saying I understand. The only thing I'm ashamed of is dropping out of 10th grade. I'm not ashamed bcz I don't lie,cheat,steal and the worst sin, pride. I'm not proud of sin, I'm forgiven of sin, and that is the difference. God bless and thank you for commenting.

[@sutton22680]

Lori Taylor-Schulte this happened to my mother. She told me this story and I can honestly say that I have seen it flare up many times over the course of her life. She’s almost 60 and still tells this story and fights how smart and resourceful she actually is.

[@sandrarowe7510]

Lori, as a former 19-year high school teacher, 6-year high school counselor, and now a private practice mental health counselor, please know how sorry I am that an educator said "You are not college material" to you. IMO, that was HER mistake--her ignorance, her judgment, and her shame--not yours. I know personally and professionally how such trauma in our formative years can affect us a lifetime: but it is NEVER too late to process that trauma, to realize it is not true, and to chose a different path. Best wishes to you!

[@chriscunningham8807]

Opening your heart and exposing yourself to rejection, hurt and humiliation is one of the most courageous and beautiful acts imaginable. Losing the object of your love is painful and can feel like a limb or part of yourself has been amputated as the sense of we shifts back to sad and lonely me.

Dear Brene', I realized some years ago, as a teacher for 48 yrs. of people, their animals and animals in general , that the things that we teach in life, especially the foundations of the learning, are the things we need to learn ourselves. Opening up to our students as our master teachers without victimizing ourselves to the process, exposes our own underbelly and requires huge amounts of courage, convictions, strength and insights. I love your talks. Thank you!

[@BelleFlower15]

When she talked about people having an experience with a teacher that gave them self worth, I thought of Miss Hoback, an administrator at my school. When I started middle school and got my first demerit, I had a total breakdown. She had to take me out of class and into her office and as I sat there crying, she gently explained to me that a demerit didn't mean I was a bad person. I had just done a bad thing. I'm crying as I write this because it still affects me to this day. God bless that woman.

[@dekusdepression]

BelleFlower15 wow that sounds like a beautiful person, I remember I was crying and my vice-principal said “ don’t you dare cry! You have no right to cry! So don’t you dare cry!”

[@mjbrooks8394]

Such an exciting time and the perfect audience to engage with Brene's message. I am heartbroken there are over 82,000 views with only 1000 likes... My days are spend in K12 Education & we SO need to receive this message and adhere to change. When I met with my HS Guidance office I too had the counselor tell me, "I was NOT college material, my parents were not of, THAT mindset." What a stifling thing to say to a adolescent who presents with the courage to ask how to improve her world."

[@sisteradmn]

"Shame cannot survive being spoken because shame requires you to believe you're alone in order for it to maintain it's power." ~Brene Brown

[@invii2049]

Actually, I would add: 1. (in generally speaking) the 'feel of shame' requires 'humans' in your life... in absence of 'them' there is no much of a trigger to the negative sense of 'self'; 2. separating/ distancing from 'humans' (aka 'alone') is often can be therapeutic (as being vulnerable you get all these mixed messages, pushes, and vibes from 'others', apart from the most important - getting your own ones!) ... however, it is sense of 'loneliness' triggers self-doubts, search for personal/ personality defects, self-blame, etc. 3. "being spoken" should be to some 'human(s)' ... talking to something, animals or yourself is more like the 'placebo effect'. Regards

I used to think that not having good armor was my biggest flaw, and it has been a defining force in my life, but Brené helped me see it not just as something beautiful but essential as well. She took the shame out of that for me. And that actually helped me become stronger and perhaps, even more resilient. Some people have their spiritual teachers, like Oprah and Brené for example have Maya Angelou as their teacher, some Mother Teresa, some Dalai Lama. Brené is my teacher. I just love her and am so grateful for everything she does

[@chriscunningham8807]

Courage is the willingness to enter the arena despite knowing you will lose. Speak your truth despite being ignored, villified or attacked by a group. Attempt something new and uncomfortable despite the risk of humiliation, failure or criticism. Above all, courage is being open, honest and vulnerable, and putting yourself out there by sending off a manuscript or asking someone on a date despite the risk of rejection after having exposed your heart and soul and the core of who you are.

Hello Magellan

[@Esabelle]

When it comes to what makes it difficult to take another's perspective, I'd also add to her list "the more mentally healthy you are". I grew up with anxiety, emotional abuse from my father, depression, low self-esteem, social anxiety and I suspect avoidant personality disorder after taking Abnormal Psychology in college. (Never been diagnosed for avoidant, so I can only say it's a suspicion because my younger self fit all the signs & symptoms SPOT ON.) I've overcome a good portion of these problems but I still remember what it was like and can empathize personally with others struggling. Even if another's story isn't identical, just seeing suffering in general after suffering yourself can really increase empathy. Some of the least supportive people are the ones who grew up in great families and didn't have really intrusive emotional problems. (I doubt anyone is completely free of emotional and mental problems but it seems people must have a certain conscious extent of these problems before their empathy increases.)

[@LorraineVirginie]

I think a lot of these people we view as “having no problems” are actually some of the most damaged. Their shame is so deep they haven’t even recognized it themselves. You’re right that no one is without emotional damage or trauma.

[@SisMaria1]

[@emilycasillas9335]

Most recently I have identified that this viedo was helpful. Seeing the amount of self-worth-awareness in the concepts placed of Joy, Shame, Silence, Secrecy, and Judgement is where I can relate to. No matter how much empathy, I have shown - that concept is still deep from high levels of depression, social isolation - embarrassment and name calling or put downs. I did not like to agree with my recent correlation of the type of material that is affecting me (indirectly) but I will assume that everybody, everyone has the LOWS in life. Humanity. I am no teacher, but enjoyed to place myself in this pep talk. Thanks for sharing. It was informative. Appreciate the information shared. Thank You, Ms.Emily!

I strongly believe ALL teachers need to learn all these things BEFORE they ever open the door to their first class. It should be part of their curriculum. No doubt in my mind and I speak for myself. There would be less broken children at school before they have had a chance. Once the damage is done, it is done. For me there was no turning back. I still see it done today. And it kills me. I can't grasp that lives are put in their care for a HUGE per cent of the day. Many kids will talk to teachers about issues. My gosh. It is scary.
