MentalHelp.Net has a very comprehensive series on emotional resilience here: http://www.mentalhelp.net/poc/center...?id=298&cn=298 The videos are helpful too.

What is emotional resilience:

To be resilient means to be able to 'spring back' into shape after being deformed. To be emotionally resilient means to be able to spring back emotionally after suffering through difficult and stressful times in one's life. Stressed people experience a flood of powerful negative emotions which may include anger, anxiety, and depression. Some people remain trapped in these negative emotions long after the stressful events that have caused them have passed. Emotionally resilient people, on the other hand, are quickly able to bounce back to their normal emotional state.

This series likely will take some time to fully digest. Once digested, it will take more time to implement. The process helps us focus, which has value in all areas of life.

I hope you find the series helpful.
