Resilience

How do people deal with difficult situations that change their lives? The death of a loved one, loss of a job, serious illness, terrorist attacks and other traumatic events: these are all examples of very challenging life experiences. Many people react with strong emotions and a sense of uncertainty.  Yet other people generally adapt well over time to life-changing situations and stressful conditions.  This course will help you understand the power of  resilience and how it can help you  cope with the ups and downs of life.

I subscribe to the Zone Positive blog.  I can identify with a lot of the sticky situations they write about!
