In this launch episode of The Patching Protocol, we investigate resilience, which I believe to be one of the most misunderstood concepts in the business world in particular.

We'll discuss what resilience is and what it most definitely is not. What resilience is can be a most important concept to comprehend - i look at it as comprising components:

Resilience = Adaptive capacity under psychological strain.

Its components are:

1. Emotional regulation (not elimination)
2. Cognitive flexibility (alternative perspectives)
3. Behavioural persistence (continued engagement)
4. Meaning-making under stress
5. Recovery capacity after depletion

This episode also looks at psychological patterns commonly seen when people present in clinic with what they consider to be resilience issues. Finally, this episode provides some practical psychological guidance for dealing with feelings of fading/diminishing resilience.

I do hope you enjoy the launch episode of The Patching Protocol, and I look forward to bringing future episodes to help you enjoy optimal mental health inyour workf and daily life.
