BRAVING Explained

The acronym BRAVING, coined by Brené Brown, is a framework for building trust and fostering healthy relationships.


Each letter represents a different aspect of trust and vulnerability.





Here's the breakdown of the BRAVING acronym:


B - Boundaries: Setting clear boundaries and respecting others' boundaries is essential for trust and establishing a sense of safety in relationships.


R - Reliability: Being reliable means doing what you say you will do, consistently. It's about keeping your commitments and being accountable, which builds trust over time.


A - Accountability: Taking responsibility for your actions and apologizing when you make mistakes. Being willing to own up to your shortcomings and make amends is vital for building trust.


V - Vault: The vault refers to maintaining confidentiality and respecting others' privacy. It means keeping sensitive information shared with you in confidence and not using it against them.


I - Integrity: Acting with integrity involves aligning your actions with your values. It means being honest, acting ethically, and demonstrating strong moral principles.


N - Non-judgment: Practicing non-judgment means creating a safe space for vulnerability by refraining from judging others. It involves suspending assumptions and being open-minded and empathetic.


G - Generosity: Being generous refers to giving others the benefit of the doubt, assuming positive intent, and interpreting their words and actions in the most charitable way possible. It involves assuming that people are doing their best.


By following the BRAVING principles, individuals can cultivate trust, foster healthier relationships, and create an environment where vulnerability and authenticity can thrive.
