Everyone knows what it’s like to be knocked off center, to lose their inner sense of balance and groundedness, at least temporarily, when faced with life’s unwanted curve balls. Whether it’s a troubling health diagnosis, the death of a loved one, a serious car accident, a layoff, or a natural disaster, life can intensely challenge our resilience.
In Resilience: Powerful Practices for Bouncing Back from Disappointment, Difficulty, and Even Disaster, author and psychotherapist Linda Graham, MFT, guides readers step by step through a process of cultivating more well-being in their lives by strengthening their resilience so that they can respond skillfully to any upset or catastrophe that would derail that well-being.
Graham explains that resilience is truly recoverable. She has designed this toolkit specifically as a brain-training program to help readers strengthen their capacity to bounce back. More than 130 experiential exercises train the brain the practices Graham offers in Resilience tap and strengthen the brain’s phenomenal ability to adapt. They are organized by the five different kinds of intelligence that are foundational to resilience: somatic, emotional, relational within ourselves, relational with others, and reflective.
In this book we can reliably use Linda’s methods to build or recover our resilience so that we can cope with whatever challenges or catastrophes might come along next — to cope with anything, anything at all.
