In this episode, we talk about the topic of resilience in a broader context. We refer to the information provided by the American Psychological Association (APA) and other credible research studies to define resilience as it relates to our overall health and to provide context to some of the determinants of resilience. Specifically, we talk about what resilience is, what resilience isn’t, the various factors that affect one's ability to be resilient in life, and finally, the APA recommended strategies to build resilience.
