Resilience & Emotional
Regulation
When exploring why some people can manage big feelings better
than others, we first need to look at how resilient or vulnerable a
person is.
When things get tough, do you bend, or do you break?
Either way, it’s not your fault – but it’s important to know so you
can do something about it.
Some people are better at managing stressors than other
people. They can:
▪ Stay in control when bad things happen.
▪ Bounce back to feeling ok quite quickly after bad experiences
▪ Solve problems
▪ Forgive people when they do something hurtful or unfair
▪ Adapt to new situations easily.
