Yes, I think it's rather strange that vulnerability can ever be seen as a good thing. I know it is not a good thing for me, and it's certainly not something that is desirable for me in any of my relationships outside the therapist's office. Why is it something you want to get past? I honestly don't understand what the perceived value of it is.

I also dislike Brene Brown, but that's just a personal thing - I don't react well to her way of expressing herself.
