When You Bring Up a Problem, and They Flip It Back on You | Professor Brené Brown

Описание: Have you ever worked up the courage to speak your truth, only to have your concern turned back on you? You’re not imagining it — this is a real experience that leaves many of us questioning ourselves, our feelings, and even our worth. In this powerful and practical speech, we explore why some people respond defensively when confronted with accountability, why repeated deflection can erode self-trust, and how to maintain your courage and integrity even when your honesty is met with resistance.

This message is especially powerful if you’re trying to speak up in difficult conversations, learning to set boundaries, reclaiming your self-worth, or working to protect your emotional health. It’s for anyone who wants to stop being blamed for their feelings, stay grounded when met with defensiveness, speak their truth without guilt, and build relationships based on honesty, respect, and trust.

Why you should watch:

• Understand why defensiveness and blame often replace accountability in conversations.
• Learn how shame can turn honest feedback into conflict and how to respond.
• Discover practical ways to protect your self-trust and maintain emotional boundaries.
• Gain confidence to speak your truth while respecting both yourself and others.
• Explore strategies to stay courageous when honesty is met with resistance.
