In this book, Dr. Brené Brown dispels the cultural myth that vulnerability is weakness and reveals it as our most accurate measure of courage. She explores how vulnerability is the birthplace of joy, belonging, creativity, authenticity, and love. Brown discusses the importance of wholehearted living, shame resilience, and the dangers of numbing vulnerability. She provides insights on how to cultivate characteristics like authenticity, self-compassion, and gratitude, and how to engage with the world from a vulnerable place to deepen connections and enrich personal growth.
In 'This Too Shall Pass', Julia Samuel explores how people can adapt and thrive during life's most challenging moments, such as first jobs, first loves, and retirement. Drawing from her patients' stories and the latest psychological research, the book offers insights into managing change in areas like family, love, work, health, and identity. It provides a framework for understanding and coping with life's inevitable changes.
CAUTION: Contains mild swearing and adult themes.
If there is any certainty in life, it is that things will never stay the same, yet so many of us struggle to embrace and accept change. In the conversation today, Julia Samuel, a leading British psychotherapist, with over 3 decades of experience teaches us how we can all adapt and thrive during our most difficult and transformative experiences.
Julia is passionate that pain is the agent of change – whether that’s through grieving someone that has died or through what Julia calls, ‘living losses’ (e.g. loss of job, a health crisis, or as many of us are experiencing at the moment, the loss of a life that we used to lead). We talk about how the way we respond to change, in many ways determines how our lives will unfold. Julia explains how love is powerful medicine and that a strong predictor of outcomes in grief is love and connection to others. We delve into transgenerational trauma, my own journey with grief and, importantly, Julia explains how to talk about death - especially with our children. This is a really enlightening conversation and I hope you get as much from it as I did.
