Understanding Resilience

Resilience is the ability to bounce back from challenges and adversity, but it is often misunderstood. It is essential to recognize that resilience should not be expected of someone still facing trauma or mental illness, as this can be counterproductive. Instead, resilience should be pursued once individuals have begun to process their experiences healthily. The podcast emphasizes that building resilience is a gradual process requiring time and attention to healing, rather than a quick fix often promoted in self-help narratives.
