The Journey into Vulnerability Research
The speaker shares their journey into researching vulnerability, which began with an interest in human connection. They initially focused on understanding what fosters connection, but their inquiries led them to explore the barriers, particularly shame, that hinder it. Participants in their studies often recounted experiences of disconnection, which prompted the speaker to delve deeper into the concept of shame as a fundamental barrier to feeling worthy of connection. This exploration highlighted the paradox that studying difficult topics such as shame, while professionally challenging, eventually became a source of personal solace and connection for the speaker.
