Many think that resilience is about endurance, toughing it out alone, or simply looking on the bright side. But these misconceptions of resilience may end up undermining your wellbeing.
Resilience is the ability of an individual to cope with and adapt positively to adversity. Essential for wellbeing, success and happiness, it is just as important to know how to use Resilience effectively in your unique context without burning out.
In this talk + course preview, Positive Psychology Consultant and lecturer Jana Dawson debunks the myths of resilience, and guides you on how to assess whether you are overusing or underusing your coping strategies.
The talk will be followed by the Course Preview of Positive Psychology programmes.
This is an opportunity for anyone interested in TSPP’s courses to learn more about the course structure, career pathways and entry requirements.
