The Courage to be Vulnerable Podcast

The Courage to be Vulnerable Podcast

This post was originally written on October 4, 2013. It was inspired by Brené Brown’s book Daring Greatly–one of the books that changed my life. I accepted her dear to be vulnerable since it was consistent with the theme of my blog. In the beginning, I was revealing so much about myself that I had masked that people kept commenting on how brave I was. Which really terrified me. But I kept doing it. And now I’m doing it in my new blog post, Neurospicy and Flying.

About Christy Barongan

I didn't know it at the time, but I wanted to be a psychologist so that I could figure out how to be normal. I think many people come to counseling for the same reason. What I've come to learn is that feeling good about myself is not about trying to be normal. It's about trying to be me. But it's a constant struggle for me, just like it is for everyone else. So I thought I would approach this task with openness and honesty and use myself as an example for how to practice self-acceptance.
