trying again, my notes from Chicago

Here I will post again what I learned in the emotions seminar…it was presented by a PhD.

It was about the road to resilience.
Resilience was defined as the process of adapting well in the face of adversity.
It doesnt mean that you dont experience distress and emotional pain is common in those who have suffered a trauma.
It can be learned over time and developed by anyone:

make connections-friends, support groups
acceptance
avoid negativity
see problems as so that you CAN handle them
think positve about the future
accept change as part of living
let go of unrealistic goals
make realistic goals
take action
explore oppurtunity for self discovery
expect good thing can happen, have hope
do things you enjoy
stay flexible
find your strengths… ” I am a….good mom, wife, husband, etc
look for and ask for help.

I hope this posts this time.

well wishes everyone,
Stacey
