Book excerpt: Exhaustion, burnout, and overwhelm are highly searched and common topics, given the current state in 2021. I work with a high volume of group and individual coaching clients and there is a pervasive sense of people feeling especially alone, isolated, and as though they are the only people struggling. Everyone is compromised to some degree and there is residual impact of the stressors in our world. People are depleted and feel the pressure to overwork, overcommit, and overperform, despite the challenges of real world demands and limitations. For many, usual opportunities for connection, stress management, and resilience building are scarce. People need validation for their struggles. They must know they are not alone and we are in it together collectively. They need to build their psychological capital through building awareness and insight, learning, and skill development.My book addresses how to handle chronic stress and burnout by building psychological fitness. I provide detailed information regarding science-backed and evidenced based interventions and practices to enhance well-being and resilience.There are many authors and personal development self-proclaimed experts on this topic. However, many do not have the necessary credentials to address mental health in a way that is responsible and based on scientific research.

Combining cutting-edge scientific research with the personal experiences of individuals who have survived some of the most traumatic events imaginable, including the COVID-19 pandemic, this book provides a practical resource that can be used time and time again. The experts describe ten key resilience factors, including facing fear, optimism, and relying on role models, through the experiences and personal reflections of highly resilient survivors.

Download or read book Building Psychological Resilience in Military Personnel written by Robert R. Sinclair and published by American Psychological Association (APA). This book was released on 2013 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Military personnel and their families face innumerable challenges. Deployed soldiers are exposed to a wide range of stressors, from the continuous, low-level experience of living in a strange and austere environment for a lengthy period of time, to acute, traumatic events that occur during combat. All of these experiences can lead to long-term psychological problems like posttraumatic stress disorder, depression, substance abuse, and even suicide. Back home, spouses of deployed soldiers face an increased likelihood of depression, anxiety, and sleep disorders, while their children may exhibit behavioral issues and negative outcomes in school. In the face of these persistent problems, researchers have consistently identified resilience, a term derived from the psychological and psychiatric literature, as perhaps the single most important factor predicting successful outcomes for military personnel and their families. In this book, Sinclair and Britt and a distinguished group of researchers investigate the concept of resilience, its essential role in normal psychological development, and its relevance within various occupational contexts unique to the military. They also evaluate existing programs for developing and maintaining resilience that have been implemented in various branches of the U.S. Armed Forces. Book jacket.

Download or read book Mental Fitness written by Tiago Alves and published by stiago. This book was released on 2023-10-30 with total page 29 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In a fast-paced and interconnected world, where the demands of modern life often seem unrelenting, the importance of mental fitness has come to the forefront of discussions surrounding holistic wellbeing. Just as physical health is a cornerstone of our overall vitality, mental fitness plays an equally pivotal role in determining our quality of life. At its core, mental fitness refers to the state of one's psychological and emotional well-being, encompassing resilience, emotional intelligence, and the ability to navigate life's challenges with grace and poise. In a society that frequently places emphasis on external achievements and material gains, the significance of mental fitness is sometimes overshadowed. However, a growing body of research highlights the undeniable connection between our mental and physical health. Understanding that mental wellness is not just the absence of mental illness, but rather a positive state in which individuals can flourish, is a vital step toward holistic self-care.

Resilience is the human capacity to deal with stress, adversities, and threats—and somehow emerge stronger. Today, the increased bombardment of information on the world's dangers, from imminent disasters to terror and wars reported in the media, make us particularly vulnerable to stress and feelings of helplessness. This volume is unique in describing how to promote resilience in different groups, under different circumstances, and dealing with different adversities. The contributors—psychologists, medical doctors, teachers and physical therapists among them—show how we can learn to draw on supports, build inner strength, and acquire interpersonal and problem-solving skills to deal with adversity. This volume will be useful for parents, service providers, researchers, policymakers, curriculum writers, and program developers. Research findings are applied to actions and policies so that the knowledge can be used in everyday life. Topics addressed include a basic understanding of resilience, resilience in families, the role of schools in resilience, and resilience for those needing health care. The text includes a discussion of the concern that too many children are protected from adversity, are unprepared to face future stressors, and become overly dependent upon others.
Download or read book Resilience and Mental Health written by Steven M. Southwick and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2011-08-18 with total page 383 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Humans are remarkably resilient in the face of crises, traumas, disabilities, attachment losses and ongoing adversities. To date, most research in the field of traumatic stress has focused on neurobiological, psychological and social factors associated with trauma-related psychopathology and deficits in psychosocial functioning. Far less is known about resilience to stress and healthy adaptation to stress and trauma. This book brings together experts from a broad array of scientific fields whose research has focused on adaptive responses to stress. Each of the five sections in the book examines the relevant concepts, spanning from factors that contribute to and promote resilience, to populations and societal systems in which resilience is employed, to specific applications and contexts of resilience and interventions designed to better enhance resilience. This will be suitable for clinicians and researchers who are interested in resilience across the lifespan and in response to a wide variety of stressors.
