The Nature of Resilience: Orchids & Dandelions

Do you ever wonder why some people bounce back quickly from anything life throws at them, while others struggle mightily to get back to baseline, even after minor setbacks? The difference is resilience, a trait that every therapist knows can make a major difference in the trajectory of your life. Resilience is influenced by your personality, your relationships, the skills you’ve had a chance to develop, your style of thinking, and your approach to problem solving, to name just a few factors. It can also be heavily influenced by your genes. In this podcast episode, we’re exploring the nature of resilience, and how you can build the “protective factors” into your life that will help you manage stress, recover from difficult experiences, and adapt to change — so you can thrive no matter what. xoxo, Dr. Lisa Marie Bobby growingself.com P.S. — I have a library of free content available for you on becoming more resilient.
