Claire Gresham self help nonfiction, raising strong by Brown. A Brown storytelling helps us all impose order on chaos, including emotional chaos. When we're in pain, we create a narrative to help us make sense of it. This story doesn't have to be based on any real information. One dismissive glance from a co worker can instantly turn into. I knew she didn't like me. I respond to steve so defensively because when I'm in doubt the I'm not enough explanation is often the first thing I grab. It's like my comfy jeans may not be flattering but familiar. Our stories are also about self protection. I told myself steve was blaming me so I could be mad. Instead of admitting that I was vulnerable or afraid of feeling inadequate. I could disengage from the tougher stuff. That's what human beings tend to do when we're under threat. We run if we feel exposed or hurt, we find someone to blame or blame ourselves before anyone else can or pretend we don't care. But this unconscious storytelling leaves us stuck. We keep tripping over the same issues, and after we fall, we find it hard to get back up again. But in my research on shame and vulnerability, I've also learned a lot about resilience.
