Psych 11/12-Feb. 7

Today's class we looked to our relationships as a clue in to 'who we are'.  We got in to groups and brainstormed what a 'close, trusting or great relationship' looked like.  There was some agreement however it was interesting to see that the word 'vulnerable' never arrived in any of our groups.  It is interesting because when we consulted the 'experts' (Brene Brown) on her research behind human connection she claims that "vulnerability is the key to human connection."  We are going to try and 'unravel' Brene's talk from TED talks more tomorrow but I would like you to come prepared tomorrow with a personal reflection on your thoughts/reactions to her talk.
