Emotional Resilience - Therapies
In previous posts, I have covered ways to help yourself increase emotional resilience and given insight into the mind and body connection and exactly why the two go hand in hand. This week, I will cover various therapies that can help cope with trauma, emotional stress, grief, anger issues, and so much more, especially in those who need extra support navigating their emotions. There is no shame in needing to reach out for help. In fact we all need it unless we were taught appropriately how to cope, communicate and face our emotions.
Self Awareness
What exactly is self awareness and why does it help when it comes to emotional resilience?
Shireen Masan, BANT & CNHC certified Nutritional Therapist explains that, as humans, we thrive when living in a community and being surrounded by others; this is an essential skill we possess in order to create and form strong bonds with others. We can also use it to improve our own abilities when reflecting regularly on our progress or challenges. Developing this skill enables us to learn from situations and understand our actions speeding up growth and learning from our mistakes.
In contrast, when we lack self awareness and reflective skills we can become fixated on others role, in our unhappiness or dissatisfaction.

We have certain physical and emotional needs which need to be fulfilled in order for our mental and physical health to flourish. As these needs are vital for longevity of the human race, we are also given with the skillset and abilities to get these needs met. First let’s look at what abilities we possess to have all our needs met.
