Content: What is Resilience? Resilience is the process of adapting in the face of adversity, trauma, tragedy, threats or significant sources of stress, such as family or relationship problems, serious health challenges, or workplace and financial issues. It means “bouncing back” from difficult life experiences. Being resilient doesn’t mean that you don’t experience hard times. In fact, emotional pain and sadness are common in people who have suffered major adversity and trauma in their lives. The road to resilience most often involves considerable emotional distress. Resilience is not a trait that you either have or don’t have. It includes behaviors, thoughts, and actions that can be learned and developed. When you break it down to the physical level in your brain, resilience is a neuroplastic process. Resilience depends on how well your brain handles stress, and it can be learned.
