WHAT IS
EMOTIONAL
VULNERABILITY ?
 EMOTIONAL VULNERABILITY

is most often felt as anxiety about being rejected, shamed, or

judged as inadequate. It has been defined by Brene Brown as
“uncertainty, risk, and emotional exposure”
 UNCERTANITY
It is a given in every day of our
lives. It is deeply tied to anxiety.
In fact, very often those who
suffer from chronic anxiety have
particular difficulty accepting the
uncertainty in their daily lives.
 FOR EXAMPLE-

the risk of feeling rejected if the

1. object of your love does not love
you back.

that your boss will not only deny

2. the raise but will also tell you why
you are not worthy of it.

You’ve decided to be with someone, and

3. you begin to feel the fear that this person
will get to know you better than you know
yourself.

UNDERSTAND
FEEL EMPATHY FORGIVE
EACH OTHER
Men and women experience shame differently. Women generally feel that they
must “Do it all; do it perfectly, and never let them see you sweat!”

Men tend to feel that they must follow the rule: “Do not be perceived as weak.”
THE FEELING OF SHAME
 It requires a good amount of empathy to understand each
other’s sources of shame and to overcome our fear of being
emotionally vulnerable.
 CONCLUSIONS

Embrace your own vulnerability and

that of the people that you love. Be
open to sharing what you feel and
taking those risks when your sense of
judgment tells you that the risk is well
worth it.
