It began with a bite-the one Alayna Bellquist had lived in fear of since hearing a relative describe the ravages of chronic Lyme.
As the illness stripped away everything she held dear, Alayna was forced to grapple with confronting questions:
- How had her high-achieving, perfectionist focus on outward success compromised her inner resilience?
- Which traumas and emotional wounds needed attention first, in order to then heal her physical self?
- Could healing ourselves also heal the natural world around us?
Resilient by Nature charts Alayna's path to the answers and illuminates a new approach to chronic Lyme-one supported by science and rooted in excavating the traumas and maladaptive coping mechanisms that increase vulnerability and hinder recovery. Woven throughout is a vital message: only by repairing our relationship with nature will we ever fully heal ourselves and Earth.
