Individual Worth

Here are the links to the talk I mentioned in class on individual worth.

I listened to an 18 minute talk given by a doctor of social work and a researcher of human studies and crunched her talk to these points:

Human Connection is neurobiological.            Spirit of Elijah

Shame is the fear of disconnection                            Satan

Shame is universal, we all have it.

Shame is necessary, it heightens our capacity for empathy.

Shame is vulnerability.

Vulnerability is emotional authenticity--universal.       

Vulnerability numbed is obesity, addiction, over medication, in-debtedness.

Authenticity --   is necessary.  Certainty is not. 

Blame is a way to discharge pain and discomfort.

Perfection is false.

Vulnerability can be the birthplace of joy, of creativity, of belonging, of love. 

                                        Recognizing Atonement

To be vulnerable is to be alive—to believe we are enough.

Enough grants worthiness.                                            God Love Me

Knowledge of worth--Individual Worth battles shame.
