Moving Beyond the Blame Game

38,601 views

Why do we waste so much energy looking for someone to blame when something doesn't go our way? Dr. Brené Brown provides us with valuable insight into how the constant search for blame limits the meaningfulness of our relationships. Brené Brown is a highly respected researcher on the subject of vulnerability. She has mastered using the art of storytelling and self-disclosure to bring life and practical meaning to the data she's collected and analyzed for over 10 years. Equally important is that Brené also shows us it's okay to laugh at ourselves as we acknowledge our imperfections.

Be The Change

Learn more about Dr. Brené Browns insights regarding how our vulnerability is truly the birthplace of innovation, creativity and change.

When you next find yourself feeling discomfort or anger because a situation is not going well commit to 1) practicing present moment awareness 2) not searching to blame yourself or others and 3) being empathetic and solution focused.

Identify any relationships that have been impacted because you cast blame to deal with your own discomfort. Reach out and be the change by taking ownership of your actions and re-approaching the situation from a place of authenticity and empathy.

MINE DOES THAT TOO! I day she friendly cordial and then she rehashes old shit and focuses on all the bad stuff I've done. Yes, there's been terrible moments between us! Some are really bad! But the good always weighs out the bad always! But she refuses to see that.
Even if am sincerely apologetic & hold my self accountable she in turns invalidates me and say"BULLSHIT NOT TRUE"! Then I don't know what else to say or do and feel trapped

There is a big and valuable message within this little film. I love that Dr. BrenÄ“ comes from the perspective of her own experience. She is sharing, not preaching. The animation is brilliant, humour is such a clever and gentle way to tackle issues that have an ugly side.

This is indeed true and we must tame ourselves to avoid this blame game. My humble comment is that video is too fast to understand for non-English people. I re-winded a number of times to full understand.

Its hard to accept responsibility for your own actions and easy to blame others.Poor Steve!

Sherri.Anger is the just result of immature behavior. Maybe instead empathize with the angry and help them convert that anger to the common good. Be strong yourself to resist the logical flight response when dealing with the outraged. Separating from angry folks can weaken our personal ability to overcome hard things. Square up and fight your self doubt. It's the most important thing we do. PS dont blame yourself if some dont get the point.

If I wanted a goddess on earth to worship at the alter of truths, Brene B is the one !
I am chastened.
