Yes silence is a true form of strength by which we pause and do some introspection. I am one who has learned this extremely well . However, I have also learned a huge and painful lesson by not expressing my feelings. I have kept silent about how I was made to feel by a very close family member for much too long, and all for the sake of keeping the peace. I finally just could not allow being disrespected any longer & spoke my truth . Unfortunately, it was not taken well and I fear our relationship will suffer. What I truly regret is not having spoken up sooner .
After being raped and sexually assaulted I chose silence as a way of coping. The feelings were far too overwhelming for me to fully express them. I stayed this way for decades. I think it was a double edged sword however. Because I felt very alone in my silence. There were times during those decades when I'm sure I would have benefitted from therapy. I finally did but I think it cost me in ways that could have been avoided had I sought it out sooner. But during those decades of silence I gave myself time to sift through all of my feelings and emotions. I was able to come to realizations about myself and what had happened. Most importantly, that I was NOT to blame for what happened to me. I was finally able to find my way out of the shame that was like being caught in a riptide, constantly dragging me down. I finally found ME. I have found that silence actually did save me in many ways. So much of what Brenè says here resonates deeply with me.
I try to speak thoughtfully and may pause to find the best words. Some people rush to finish my sentences for me. It is infuriating! I often loose my train of thought completely. Others rush to bring the focus back on them, which negates the story of ME. Please, wait your turn.
I agree! Talking non-stop - like from a script! Boring!, Good information that seems to just be monotone and making no connection with her audience. I saw her in a talk show and was fantastic.
Silence has been my best allie over many years. Coming back with a cooler head, with better information, is wise and thoughtful.
Silence is the ally of abusers. There is a time to be silent and a time to speak.
So true, stop and listen for the voice of wisdom that comes through silence. Badly chosen words spoken in the heat of the moment, can’t be taken back.

Is this AI generated?! Brene never speaks so monotonous. Can't listen to this. Bleh.
So just stay silent and scroll on 😮😅😂
💕💕💕💕💕
If everybody was always so sllent as you purport, no glass ceiling which so direly needs breaking, would be broken!!!!
This sounds like Brené’s voice, but AI generated.
This is not real. Using AI to pirate copyright material😢
💩

I thought maybe this is a clip from her audio book? It’s quite a long time to talk about the same subject
I wouldn’t say someone whom has training in social justice topics would exist to neutralize their opinions.
Understood and practiced, but please give situation examples, not sweeping statements. Thank you.
This doesn’t sound like Brene Brown’s real voice.
Muniba Mazari my life in come
How many times can you say the same thing?
How many times do you complain before scrolling on
As many times as needed! Some need to hear again, nothing wrong with it 😊
So repetitive 🙄
Looks like this is a time that you need to be silent 😂
@@reneehaynes8289😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 that made my day that was funny
I was ok with this lady until she decided to get political …
When did she get political exactly??? Not everything is...these principles apply to every person on the planet, regardless of their station in life.
@@Julieglam3politics are personal because specific policies impact everyone whether positively or negatively
Bullshit!
