Are You Hooked on a False Story? | SuperSoul Sunday | Oprah Winfrey Network

It's often the case that when someone says or does something to you that seems mean-spirited, they are offloading the hurt someone else inflicted on them at an earlier time.

Are You Hooked on a False Story? | SuperSoul Sunday | Oprah Winfrey Network

[Coryraisa]

That's how so many fights and estrangements ignite...when people create a crazy false story in their head, especially about another person's motives or intent.

[LightworkBeacon]

I feel what she is describing is an awakening to self-awareness.

[zorazorazorzzora]

Never long enough...just when I am getting into it, the clip ends...

[KeifusMathews]

Can you imagine meeting her in a bar? what great conversation you would have

[zynarang]

This piece really speaks to me. Thank you Brene!

[GabrielleWilliams]

I need to change alot of stories I've been telling myself for years.

[Arnoldpeter]

there is so much truth and accuracy in this. thank you

[mollyneemairenicanna]

The negative monologue .Thank you both

[katherineprongos]

Ingenious analysis. My brain is squeaking with astonishment.

[ginny]

Just finished this book, her best I believe. The woman is a genius.

[mamawhys]

It's like watching your own brain work in survival mode. Something I have been noticing recently. I will catch myself and say out loud, no, that's not what it is. What is the root of the issue?

[pambennett]

What’s hard is to keep telling yourself the right story. Because my stories include old habits and as soon as I stop thinking about it, it feels like the old self hate self distrust puts itself back in the drivers seat, and I have to immediately take it out and rewrite it again. It makes me feel like I’m lying to myself when I try to change the narrative to something more positive and casting myself in a more
Favorable light

[joyjones]

“…because they have been socialized to be emotionally self-reliant and to feel ashamed of needing anything from anyone, particularly from a woman.”

[goddessesanewconsciousness]

Thank You Oprah for all that You do :)

[zorazorazorzzora]

I love Brene...just love her... I purchased a Kindle HD, downloaded the book.. I just can't seem to get into reading on the Kindle. I need to buy Rising Strong hardcopy... I've read Brene's first 2 books, for course they were hard copy. I gotta ready Rising Strong...

[truemagneticnorth]

So much wisdom in this great clip!!! Thank you for sharing!

[hyperchord]

I've just now gotten curious about my emotional triggers.  The whole left v right, conservative v liberal business thats been going on absolutely tears me up.  My parents argued a lot when I was growing up.  I wonder if they are connected in some way

[lizgichora]

I LOVE that book! It has been a GIFT to me..Thank you .

[boipelopee]

Goes back to what Miguel Ruiz said about "assumption".

[MarcelinRuth]

Waouh! Thanks a lot Brene ! That’s give power to improve myself
