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

Well, it's not a good thing, or a bad thing. It's a very dangerous thing. A bit like fire or electricity... You really want to know what you're doing when you mess with it. Which kinda sucks for those of us who missed the basics as kids....
