They also outline a number of tools and techniques you can use for healthy management and coping for better psychological, emotional and physical health.
Whilst these toolkits are useful for anybody, we do recommend using them in conjunction with regular therapy or at least as an entry point to familiarise yourself with some of the benefits of seeing a clinical psychologist.
As it is something we all experience, we will often opt for ways to cope with it when it comes our way. Some of us have been taught to manage stress in a healthy way, whilst some of us still struggle to manage stress without breaking down or falling in a heap.
If we have not learnt to manage stress in healthy ways, this can often lead to detrimental long-term and short-term effects on our physical and emotional health.
If you tend to adopt unhealthy coping skills in the face of stress, this does not mean that you cannot learn healthier ways of dealing with it. In fact, the below toolkit is the perfect place to start.
In essence, being resilient means being able to adapt and bounce back when something difficult happens in our lives.
Our levels of resiliency will change and develop throughout our lives, and at points, we will find that we do not cope as well as others, as well as surprising ourselves when we manage a difficult situation. In another sense, resilience is just one of many psychological tools we implement to get us back to feeling normal again.
The downloadable toolkit may help you develop mechanisms for protection against experiences that could be overwhelming, helps maintain balance in your life during difficult or stressful periods, and help prevent the development of some mental health difficulties and issues.
