In this episode, Dr. Kate and renowned author, Soraya Chemaly, explore the misconceptions and dangers of resilience, highlighting the lack of social care and the value of care in society, highlighter in her new book: The Resilience Myth: New Thinking on Grit, Strength, and Growth After Trauma.

Some of the key points include:

- Resilience can be misconstrued and work against us when there is a lack of social care and value for care in society.

- The concept of resilience has become detached from science and has proliferated as an ideology.

- The science of resilience has biases and limitations, particularly in relation to gender and vulnerable populations.

- Healing and resilience are not solely individual endeavors, but require community, relationships, and reflection.

- Traditional notions of masculinity can hinder resilience and adaptability to change.

- The idea of bouncing back to a pre-trauma state is a myth, and healing involves assimilating experiences and evolving as individuals. Rigid notions of masculinity can be harmful and lead to a lack of resilience.

- Marginalized communities may overcompensate in one area to compensate for marginalization in another.

- Cultivating an embodied awareness of our environments is important for resilience.

- Resilience should be viewed from a relational perspective, emphasizing interconnectedness.
