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. Introduction to Emotional Resilience - Introduction to Emotional Resilience And Resiliency
In a lengthy document divided into parts, Harry Mills, Ph.D. & Mark Dombeck, Ph.D., discuss the importance of emotional resilience as a means of more efficiently coping with the stressors we encounter. The Doctors identify the characteristics that allow emotionally resilient people to handle the downside more efficaciously.

The document in my view has a lot to recommend it.

What do you think?
