"Very interesting!"
"Maybe education is unsure how to deliver its promises at this time of systemic overhaul (technology leaps, financial divides, cultural tensions ...). It takes collective bravery to de-colonialise a whole schooling system. There are pockets of…"
School holidays. I stumbled upon The Alchemist (book). The last time I read it, I must have been around 19 years old. So I gave it another go. And I found those few chosen sentences from the book quite moving:

Christina Yes, I see ... Because I am treating this more of a 'note to self' section ... And also because I haven't realised that I could contribute directly to the blog :-) Apologies.
Thinking about how the concept of Sisu is related with fearlessness ... Also where anger ties into the picture ...

Christina Oh, how come the link didn't work ...
Sisu is a Finnish word for determination and inner fortitude in the face of extreme adversity.
The title of the article is: Sisu: The Finnish art of inner strength. And Emilia Lahti is a researcher and writer… -

It's a good article to get a bit of an idea ...
"Very kind of you, thank you!"
I found an older blog article I wrote but never published. It's up now: https://journeypsych.blogspot.com/

"How long did it take for you to 'recover/heal' from this unsuccess/rejection? Is it even possible entirely, or the feeling shifts over time into something different? How long until you formed a new or different or adjusted vision? Did napping help…"
"I really enjoyed this talk, thank you. It is a perfect introduction to get a sense what fearism is about. I agree with short-term management of fear/s not being adequate (however very symptomatic of our present time psychology approaches, driven by…"

I wonder: How can fearology help understand trauma-resposes like fight, flight, freeze, fawn?
There are all these different concepts: courage, anxiety, vulnerability, uncertainty, trauma, multi-generational trauma, PTSD, grit, sisu, resilience, avoidance, phobias, ... How do they connect, how would one differentiate, these are all studied in different ways, by different disciplines, where do they intersect, connect, complement each other. Is there an overarching story?
Thank you both!
I have done a small piece of research for my honours degree, it involved measuring organ donation beliefs and how strongly people believed in an afterlife - and how this would affect their willingness to register for organ donation. It was furthermore meant to be a social representation theory based project (unfortunately, I did not do the theory justice; still learning). However, fear is often an employed element in the media in various forms and for endless topics and reasons.
I am fascinated by the social representations of fear in media and discourse involving fear language, how it co-constructs our knowledge and beliefs about social issues; and how sticky fear-based emotional content is in society.
Fearlessness on the other side is a construct I'd like to explore for my personal quest at this point. It is a state of mind or a philosophy I can tap into at times, but not consistently. Becoming more fearless is something I try to live again (to rediscover). Maybe I find some inspiration in your group
Hello! Its nice to see and meet you here.Welcome to the website!
