Abstract

Every day we experience the uncertainty, risks, and emotional exposure that define what it means to be vulnerable, or to dare greatly. Whether the arena is a new relationship, an important meeting, our creative process, or a difficult family conversation, we must find the courage to walk into vulnerability and engage with our whole hearts. In Daring Greatly, Dr. Brown argues that vulnerability is not weakness, but rather our clearest path to courage, engagement, and meaningful connection. Based on twelve years of research.

Abstract

Information on pressure sores and how to deal with them. In an individual with spina bifida some of the nerves do not develop properly, which results in little or no sensation in some areas of the skin. Without the warning of discomfort or pain from heat, cold, sharp objects, pressure, scrapes or excessive moisture an individual will be unaware of damage to their skin. A sore may develop quite quickly and can worsen rapidly if not attended to properly. Children need to learn the importance of personal hygiene to their overall well being. Parents should begin teaching skin care to their child at an early age, until their routine becomes second nature: * Perform regular self checks of the skin, using a hand held mirror to view those areas not easily seen with the eyes. * Keep skin clean and dry. Moisture and chemicals from urine, bowel material or sweat can damage the skin if left there too long. * Eat nutritious foods and drink plenty of fluids to keep the body and skin healthy.

Shame

Abstract

Dr. Brene Brown draws upon more than twelve years of investigation to reveal how we can disarm the influence of shame to cultivate a life of greater courage, joy, and love. She invites you to explore: 1. The differences and similarities between the experience of shame for men and women; 2. Guilt vs. shame - why one helps us grow, while the other keeps us small; 3. The four elements of shame resilience - identifying our triggers, practicing critical awareness, sharing our story, and speaking honestly; 4. Empathy as the primary antidote to shame.
