Some individuals emerge from grim experiences stronger in mind and
spirit than others who suffered the same ordeal. In this updated
and revised edition, Michael Neenan focuses on the meanings we
attach to life's adversities in order to understand how we respond
to them. This is why different people can react to the same adverse
event in a variety of ways such as fighting back or crumbling.
Different meanings of what constitutes resilience are also
discussed and the author takes issue with the simplistic view of it
as bouncing back from adversity which suggests the absence of
struggle and emotional pain as well as underestimating how long the
process of self-righting can sometimes take. Developing Resilience
shows how people can find constructive ways of dealing with hard
times by using the ideas and techniques of cognitive behavioural
therapy as well as drawing on the viewpoints and experiences of
other writers presented here. This book provides useful guidance
and advice on topics including: * managing negative emotions in
difficult times * using an assets and liabilities model to
understand resilient behaviour * distinguishing between what's
within and outside of your control * identifying and changing
attitudes that undermine resilience building * developing
self-belief * increasing your level of frustration tolerance *
maintaining a resilient outlook. This book will be essential
reading for anyone interested in learning more about resilience as
well as for mental health professionals, coaches and therapists
looking for guidance in helping their clients to cope better with
adversity.
