Abstract: Resilience is the ability of the subject to bounce back, to recover after illness, after changes or past misfortunes, provided that the damage to the present state is not exaggeratedly large, not exceeding a threshold considered critical. In the event of problems that have a major impact on the subject’s life, the vital energy is blocked internally, accumulating in the individual’s ego. The accumulated energy is transformed ad hoc into a resource of strength, leading to the phenomenon of resilience. The resilient process means the development of a sustainable capacity, directed towards successfully counteracting stress and adversity factors and regaining the level of the individual that was held before the past misfortunes were instituted. This is possible because the potential of the defense mechanisms will be preserved by building an inner strength that will enable future self-protection against stress or misfortune. Individual resilience will function by bouncing back from failures, keep energy under constant pressure and cope with the challenges of life, receiving disturbing phenomena (in itself) with a positive attitude, serenity and smile.
Therefore, resilience prioritizes the removal of blockages that stop the process of natural healing and natural balancing of the body. The resilient subject will have to eliminate patterns of negative thinking and tension, distrust and doubt. It will manifest an attitude of understanding, compassion, empathy towards the surrounding social framework as a permissive state of healing.
Keywords: resilience, resilient phenomenon, resilient process, standard of living, individual resilience, societal resilience, impact, self, stress, mentor, circle of relationships, organization, psychotherapy.
