What is resilience (from the point of view of psychology), and do you possess it? We've all been through a lot in our lives. Congratulations, you're still here! But have these last years made you stronger or weaker? Braver or more afraid? Pessimistic or optimistic? If you answered the latter to each of those, you're exhibiting signs of resilience. It's not an easy thing to do but it's also one of the few common traits in every single successful person who had to work for what they have. So let's talk about resilience with Lily, a practising psychotherapist who deals with it and the lack of it regularly with her patients.
How does a person muster up resilience in the face of failure? A breakup? A rejection? Illness? What about when variables completely out of your control tear down your dreams? Why are some people more resilient than others? Can you learn to be resilient? You can and that's the meat of this club! Let's have a smart discussion about resilience, how it can apply in your life, how you can become more resilient, and how that can shape your tomorrow!
