Drs. Steven and Sybil Wolin have done some vitally important research on resiliency. Resilient individuals are those who grew up in a dysfunctional context of some kind, yet are not damaged, but challenged. The next blogs are going to be my personal reflections on The Seven Resiliencies.
The Seven Resiliencies
Insight - asking tough questions and giving honest answers.
Independence - distancing emotionally and physically from the sources of trouble in one's life.
Relationships - making fulfilling connections to other people.
Initiative - taking charge of problems.
Creativity - using imagination and expressing oneself in art forms.
Humor - finding the comic in the tragic.
Morality - acting on the basis of an informed conscience.
