Resilience is the ability to adapt to and bounce back from stressful situations, setbacks, and hardships. It is not about avoiding or denying difficult emotions or experiences, but rather about learning how to cope with them in a healthy way.
As a clinical psychology resident, I often work with people who are struggling with adversity and difficult life experiences. While many of these experiences happen due to causes outside of our control, one of the most important personal qualities that can help us overcome these challenges is resilience.
Research has shown that individuals higher in resiliency are more likely to experience better mental health outcomes, such as decreased rates of anxiety and depression, and have better physical health outcomes too! However, it is important to distinguish between healthy resilience and toxic positivity. Toxic positivity is the belief that one should only focus on positive emotions and experiences and ignore or suppress negative emotions. This can be harmful as it can lead to the denial of legitimate emotions and experiences, or cause us to feel like there is something wrong with us if we are experiencing negative emotions.
This can lead to further feelings of guilt, shame, and isolation from others. Building resilience does not mean ignoring negative emotions or experiences which inevitably happen in life. Instead, it involves learning how to navigate and process these difficult experiences in a healthy way. Here are some tips on how to build resilience:
