To combat physical nasties we need a strong immune system. To
combat negative life events we need resilience. Here award-winning
therapist Sally Baker gives us a practical guide to developing a
wider understanding of resilience and to fostering it so that we
have the essential perseverance and drive to emerge successfully
when confronted with life's inevitable and often unexpected
challenges. The book explores some of the key family dynamics that
can result in unhelpful ways of thinking about oneself which may
undermine the natural development of resilience and in its place
impose a cycle of self-sabotaging behaviour. Coping strategies such
as heightened anxiety, non-confrontational behaviour,
people-pleasing habits, along with `adult failure to thrive', are
just a few of the learnt strategies often originally forged out of
powerlessness in response to less than ideal early life
experiences. These strategies however can be re-assessed and the
misplaced guilt, shame and self-blame that have affixed these
behaviours often for many years, can be resolved and released,
making way for the getting of resilience from the inside out. Based
on extensive experience and case studies from Sally Baker's own
therapy practice working with many clients over the years, this
book provides gentle, perceptive insight along with tried and
tested self-help therapeutic tools, free additional online
resources and the expert guidance needed to take the reader through
the stages from negativity to self-empowerment.
