The Cost of Numbing Our Emotions | Brené Brown TED Talk

In this powerful excerpt, Brené Brown sheds light on a pervasive issue: our tendency to numb emotions. As the most in-debt, obese, addicted, and medicated adult cohort in U.S. history, we often turn to temporary fixes to avoid uncomfortable feelings like vulnerability, grief, and shame. However, as Brené explains, you can't selectively numb emotions. When we numb the hard feelings, we also numb joy, gratitude, and happiness, creating a dangerous cycle of misery and searching for meaning.
