Emotional Resilience enables a person to remain flexible in the face of uncertainty and stress: to shift gears and bounce back. When a person learns to feel safe, recognize why they feel as they do despite a storm of emotions, anything is possible.
Emotional Resilience is the foundation of satisfying interpersonal relationships. If you can step back to take a look at a problem for what it is, you are already along the road to finding a resolution.
