DESCRIPTION: Do you fear that growing old means being trapped in a body filled with aches, pains, and losses? Many of us do—especially women. Though our youth-obsessed society is partly to blame, psychologist Susan Sands explains there is a deeper and unrecognized factor—we have never really gotten to know our bodies, to sense and feel our bodies from the inside out. In Dr. Sands’ latest book, The Inside Story, she offers a much-needed guide for helping us understand, befriend, and support our bodies as we grow older.

Without downplaying the challenges we face as we age, Dr. Sands offers a wealth of case studies, interviews, and scientific findings to rewrite the common cultural beliefs that put us at odds with our own bodies. Through her work and writing, she shares a wealth of powerful embodiment tools—including traditional practices like meditation and yoga, as well as breathing methods, neural feedback techniques, guidance on diet and exercise, and more.

Most of us have never been taught how to truly connect with our bodies and growing older can provide us with a golden opportunity to heal this inner divide. Dr. Susan Sands and CIIS Chair of Integrative Health Studies Meg Jordan share how powerful tools of embodiment can help you experience aging as a vital, optimistic, and transformative journey.

MENTAL HEALTH RESOURCES

We hope that our events provide opportunities for growth, and that our audiences will use them as a starting point for further introspection. Many of the topics discussed in our events have the potential to bring up feelings and emotional responses. If you or someone you know needs mental health care and support, here are some resources to find immediate help and future healing:

🌿 Visit 988lifeline.org or text, call, or chat with The National Suicide Prevention Lifeline by dialing 988 from anywhere in the U.S. to be connected immediately with a trained counselor. Please note that 988 staff are required to take all action necessary to secure the safety of a caller and initiate emergency response with or without the caller’s consent if they are unwilling or unable to take action on their own behalf.

🌿 Visit thrivelifeline.org or text “THRIVE” to begin a conversation with a THRIVE Lifeline crisis responder 24/7/365, from anywhere: +1.313.662.8209. This confidential text line is available for individuals 18+ and is staffed by people in STEMM with marginalized identities.

🌿 Visit translifeline.org or call (877) 565-8860 in the U.S. or (877) 330-6366 in Canada to learn more and contact Trans Lifeline, who provides trans peer support divested from police.
