Do you ever wonder; "How do people deal with difficult events that change their lives?" and "What enables them to do so?"
The death of a loved one, loss of a job, serious illness, terrorist attacks and other traumatic events: these are all examples of very challenging life experiences. Many people react to such circumstances with a flood of strong emotions and a sense of uncertainty.
Yet people generally adapt well over time to life-changing situations and stressful conditions. I am coming to see that a big part of successful movement through these tough times involves RESILIENCE, an ongoing process that requires time and effort and engages people in taking a number of steps.
Stayed tuned over the next few weeks as I share some insights that I have been gathering over the last few years as I work with folks (and myself) struggling with some very tough life situations and why/how some pull through and start on a new path while others stay stuck or simply resign to live in pain.
