It is impossible to get through life without varying degrees of adversity.  Some of our challenges are byproducts of our choices, like moving to a new community or changing jobs, while others come into our lives like unwelcome house guests.

Like a sailboat that is prepared for all conditions, what if we could trust in ourselves to weather the storms?  With a healthy resilience practice, this is possible.

Why do you need resilience?  Resilience is the ability to “bounce back” or recover from challenging events.  A resilience practice is critical for maintaining our mental health and overall well-being.
Over the past two years, Cindy Thompson has been studying resilience and learning from the lived experience of her guests on A Resilience Project podcast.  Drawing on 30 + years in the counselling field and the distilled practices of her guests on the podcast, Cindy will introduce you to evidence-based resilience practices to help you thrive.

Topics that will be covered include:

  •         The value of having a resilience skill set
  •         The difference between “white-knuckling it through” and thriving
  •         Getting clear on our values can serve as a guide in the decisions we make
  •         How to revive and restore your sense of well-being
  •         Getting comfortable with being uncomfortable
