Helpful for couples in that 'I’m screaming and he’s/she’s shutting down' cycle. - Brené Brown
Our society doesn’t promote self-acceptance and it never will. First of all, self-acceptance doesn’t sell products. Capitalism would fall if we liked ourselves the way we are now. Also, people who feel shamed and inadequate themselves tend to pass it on. I’m sure you’ve noticed that many individuals and groups try to enhance their self-esteem by diminishing others.
— Harriet Lerner, The Dance of Anger
