The grounded theory of Shame Resilience by Brene Brown, Ph.D., LMSW consists of four elements. As Dr. Brown discusses, these elements are not necessarily linear but for the sake of format and easy discussion they will be presented in a linear way.

  1. Recognizing Shame & Triggers
  2. Practicing Critical Awareness
  3. Reaching Out
  4. Speaking Shame

Each part of the process is indispensable but does not necessarily happen in this order. Each step in the shame resilience model is placed on a continuum with dualities represented on each end of the continuum.

About The Project

The “It’s Okay To Not Be Okay” is intended to create awareness about the theory of Shame Resilience. Everyone feels shame about something at some point in their lives. Acknowledging that shame without jeopardizing one’s authenticity is key to a well-rounded personality. Building this resilient spirit toward shame and not allowing it to take over your life is Shame Resilience.
