A Joyful Life with Jennifer Book Club Series: Atlas of the Heart by Brene Brown
Show Notes

Welcome to our Caregiver Coaching Corner! Jen will be starting a new book club series for the next 13 weeks on the book written by Brene Brown called Atlas of the Heart.

A little bit from the introduction of the book she talks about how 15 years ago when we first introduced a curriculum based on her shame research. they asked participants in training workshops to list all of the emotions that they could recognize and name as they were experiencing them. And she goes on to say that over the course of five years, they collected those surveys for more than 7,000 people. The average number of emotions that was named across the survey was three, three emotions.

When we don't have the language to talk about what we're experiencing, our ability to make sense of what's happening and share it with others is a very or severely limited. Without accurate language, we struggled to get the help we need. We don't always regulate or manage our emotions and experiences in a way that allows us to move through them productively and our self-awareness is diminished. Language shows us that naming an experience doesn't give the experience more power, it gives us the power of understanding and meaning.
