"It helped me to recognise that if we are to build resilience, we must first resensitize. For me, this looked like being brave enough to welcome the sensations I had spent years suppressing." So much learned wisdom here. Resilience is so much more than pure strength - it is tenderness and sensitivity too. Thank you for shining light on that. I don't suppose you ship to Canada? I'd order a copy of your poems right now but I don't see a shipping option for Canada.
Thank you so much for taking the time to read this Raine. You're so right, it is so much more than pure strength. I've just updated shipping to include Canada so you should be able to order a copy of the book now ❤️
“ I may not know a lot about material success, but I have learned a little something about liberation.”
Omg...I feel this deeply. I mean, I’ve experienced varying levels of material success but it didn’t matter because it was never enough. Liberation for me has been the realization that true success (for me) is a calm nervous system.
I couldn’t agree more with what you’ve said here, soothing my nervous system is something I’ve been focusing on more intently over the past year and the improvement in my quality of life has been profound ✨
It feels like there’s so much more to be explored around resensitizing and resilience, the relationship between the two is something that has been in my thoughts a lot recently.
But I agree, there’s something incredibly profound about the idea of resensitizing in itself ♥️

Beautiful! I love the idea of "resensitizing" .... That feels so liberating and alchemizing.
