Hi! I'm Alane Freund.

You will be more resilient in ONE WEEK

Published 2 months ago • 1 min read

Dear Reader,

Are you resilient? You may say, "Up until now, I haven't been so resilient..."

Or maybe, "Are you kidding? I'm so sensitive and anxious that I'm incapable of being resilient."
Perhaps, "I have not found resilience to come easily, yet."
and, sometimes, "Darn right! I am a resilient person."
​
In this pre-recorded class with my special guest, the gifted therapist and teacher, Linda Graham, we explored the intersection of sensitivity and resilience. Linda offers many wonderful tools and insights from her decades of study and two published books on the topic.

Alane Freund teaching how to squat using a chair for the Squat Challenge for Sensitives

Dear Reader, Squat Challenge for Sensitives: An annual program for sensitive nervous systems. How did it start? I got on a squatting kick a few years ago in August.

I realized doing bodyweight squats had a huge impact on my nervous system and mental health which aligned perfectly with Differential Susceptibility...

Dear Reader, Why Pulling Away from What Is Hard Always Makes It Worse | Pema Chödrön Did you have a chance to check out this short interview with Pema Chödrön? When my life was falling apart (again) in 2004, my therapist referred me to Pema's book, When Things Fall Apart. It was truly eye-opening to me... and counterintuitive. It's a lesson I get to learn over and over again: Pulling away from what is hard makes it worse. I was raised with "When the going gets tough, the tough get going...
