interesting counterpoint on resilience
There's been some backlash during the pandemic about people advising others to think positively to the point we now have a term called toxic positivity. There's also been a lot of talk about resilience during the pandemic. It looks like people are finally starting to question that as well:

It's interesting in light of what HSP research has investigated regarding vantage sensitivity and classifying resilience as "vantage insensitivity".

Re: interesting counterpoint on resilience
It is interesting. She's advising people to be more like HSP in a way; to embrace and listen to emotions as a healthy way of dealing with adversity and hardship. Mostly we get advised to be less sensitive, to suck it up and move on; that is what the popular definition of resilience has become. It's something well entrenched in many cultures now.
