Resilience is the ability to adapt and bounce back from adversity, stress, or trauma. It doesn’t mean avoiding difficulties but rather using coping skills, social support, and personal strengths to recover and grow through challenges.
Key Points:
- Contributing Factors: Positive relationships, self-efficacy, optimism, emotional regulation, and problem-solving abilities.
- Developing Resilience: Building supportive networks, practicing self-care, reframing negative events as growth opportunities, seeking help when needed.
- Clinical Perspective: Fostering resilience is a key objective in many therapeutic modalities, especially in trauma recovery or chronic stress management.
