PSYCHOLOGICAL RESILIENCE:
THE CAPACITY TO RESPOND QUICKLY AND CONSTRUCTIVELY TO CRISES PROCESS OF ADAPTING WELL IN THE FACE OF ADVERSITY, TRAUMA, TRAGEDY, THREATS OR SIGNIFICANT SOURCES OF STRESS — SUCH AS FAMILY AND RELATIONSHIP PROBLEMS, SERIOUS HEALTH PROBLEMS OR WORKPLACE AND FINANCIAL STRESSORS IT MEANS "BOUNCING BACK" FROM DIFFICULT EXPERIENCES ABSORB RATHER THAN SHOW AGGRESSION AGAINST CHALLENGES
29
BUILDING RESILIENCE AMERICAN PSYCHOLOGICAL ASSOCIATION:
Make connections Avoid seeing crises as insurmountable problems Accept that change is a part of living Move toward your goals Take decisive actions Look for opportunities for self- discovery.
30
Make connections
Good relationships Accepting help and support active in civic or faith- based groups or other local groups for social support and can help with reclaiming hope helping others in their time of need
31
Avoid seeing crises as insurmountable problems
You can't change the fact that highly stressful events happen, but you can change how you interpret and respond to these events
32
Accept that change is a part of living
Certain goals may no longer be attainable as a result of adverse situations Accepting circumstances that cannot be changed can help you focus on circumstances that you can alter
33
Move toward your goals
Develop some realistic goals Do something regularly — even if it seems like a small accomplishment. ask yourself, "What's one thing I know I can accomplish today that helps me move in the direction I want to go?"
34
Take decisive actions
Act on adverse situations as much as you can Take decisive actions, rather than detaching completely from problems and stresses and wishing they would just go away
35
Look for opportunities for self- discovery
People often learn something about themselves and may find that they have grown in some respect as a result of their struggle with loss
36
NURTURE A POSITIVE VIEW OF YOURSELF
DEVELOPING CONFIDENCE IN YOUR ABILITY TO SOLVE PROBLEMS AND TRUSTING YOUR INSTINCTS HELPS BUILD RESILIENCE
37
KEEP THINGS IN PERSPECTIVE
EVEN WHEN FACING VERY PAINFUL EVENTS, TRY TO CONSIDER THE STRESSFUL SITUATION IN A BROADER CONTEXT AND KEEP A LONG-TERM PERSPECTIVE AVOID BLOWING THE EVENT OUT OF PROPORTION
38
MAINTAIN A HOPEFUL OUTLOOK
TRY VISUALIZING WHAT YOU WANT, RATHER THAN WORRYING ABOUT WHAT YOU FEAR
39
TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF
PAY ATTENTION TO YOUR OWN NEEDS AND FEELINGS ENGAGE IN ACTIVITIES THAT YOU ENJOY AND FIND RELAXING EXERCISE REGULARLY SLEEP
40
BUILDING RESILIENCE: HUMOR
INCREASED HUMOR CAN OFTEN HELP AN INDIVIDUAL COPE MORE SUCCESSFULLY WITH TRAUMATIC SITUATIONS INCREASED HUMOR CAN CONTRIBUTE TO THE ENHANCEMENT OF POSITIVE LIFE EXPERIENCES, AND LEAD TO GREATER POSITIVE AFFECT AND PSYCHOLOGICAL WELL-BEING NEED TO CLARIFY THE EFFECTS OF VARIOUS STYLES AND TIMING OF HUMOR ON RESILIENCY TO STRESS AND TRAUMA
41
THERE IS VERY LIMITED EMPIRICAL SUPPORT THAT GREATER USE OF HUMOR RESULTS IN
POSITIVE PERSONAL GROWTH AND A “BOUNCE-BACK FROM ADVERSITY” POSTURE
