"SRT proposes that shame is not triggered in women by any universal shame triggers. The scenarios, experiences and expectations that lead to shame appear to be as individual and different as women, their relationships and their cultures. However, there does appear to be a shared experience of how expectations generated from social/cultural expectations are enforced by individuals and groups and supported by media culture. Additionally, categories clearly emerged as areas in which women struggle the most with feelings of shame. These categories are appearance and body image, sexuality, family, motherhood, parenting, professional identity and work, mental and physical health, aging, religion, speaking out, and surviving trauma." - Brene Brown, pg 46
