What is resilience, and how can you train your brain and body to recover more quickly after stress? In this session you will discover why resilience is more than “bouncing back,” and how neuroscience explains the hidden process that allows you to adapt and grow even after setbacks. You will learn how the brain recalibrates through neuroplasticity, why resilience protects against anxiety and depression, and how it differs from qualities like perseverance or determination. Together we will explore five evidence-based practices — from stress inoculation micro-drills to WOOP goal planning, from reappraisal rehearsal to values-based micro-commitments and expressive writing. Each method is designed to strengthen recovery, regulate emotions, and anchor your daily actions in meaning. With insights from psychology and neuroscience, this practice shows that resilience is not inherited or fixed. It can be built, strengthened, and lived, becoming a reliable shield in moments when life feels overwhelming.
