Resilience Psychological Services

Resilience is the process of adapting well in the face of adversity, trauma, tragedy, threats or significant sources of stress. Stress is constant, often arriving in the form of relationship conflicts, health concerns or financial problems. Being resilient means "bouncing back" from difficult experiences.

For example, most people who experience trauma do not develop PTSD; they adapt to their new experiences and their suffering slowly subsides. Being resilient does not mean that a person doesn't experience difficulty or distress Go to full description...
