The Four Types of Resilience

 

Resilience is frequently used interchangeably with adaptability and coping. However, there are four main types of resilience that we must cultivate in order to support ourselves during difficult times. These include physical resilience, mental resilience, emotional resilience, and social resilience.

1. Psychological Resilience:

Psychological resilience is the mental capacity to deal with or adapt to uncertainty, difficulties, and adversity. Sometimes, it is referred to as "mental fortitude." Psychologically resilient people develop coping strategies and skills such as ( problem solving and being agile) that enable them to stay calm and focused during a crisis and move on without long-term negative consequences such as distress and anxiety.

2. Emotional Resilience:

Emotional resilience refers to the various ways in which we manage our emotional responses to challenges and deal with our feelings and negative emotions such as anger, fear, vulnerability, or sadness. It is pivotal that we accept the reality of our situation while also having the emotional capacity to get through it. Understanding how we react to challenges and minimizing the impact on ourselves, and others requires emotional awareness or emotional intelligence. Emotionally resilient people comprehend their emotions and their causes. Even in the midst of a crisis, they maintain a realistic sense of optimism and make proactive use of both internal and external resources. They are able to effectively manage both external stressors and their own emotions.

3. Physical Resilience:

Physical resilience refers to the body's ability to adapt effectively to physical challenges, maintain the stamina and strength necessary to heal in a prompt and effective manner. Physical resilience is influenced by healthy lifestyle choices, connections with friends and neighbors, deep breathing, adequate rest and recovery time, and participation in enjoyable activities.

4. Social Resilience:

Social resilience refers to the capacity of a group of people to adapt to and bounce back from adversity, whether that be a natural disaster, an act of violence, or economic hardship. It is about the bonds we form with one another and our ability to lean on one another in times of need. When dealing with difficult times, it helps to have people you can lean on for moral and emotional support from your community, family, and friends. Real-life examples of community resilience include New York City after the 9/11 terrorist attacks; New Orleans following Hurricane Katrina; and the communities of Gilroy, California, El Paso, Texas, Dayton, Ohio, and Uvalde, Texas, in the aftermath of mass shootings.

While all types of resilience are important, emotional resilience is absolutely vital to our ability to remain afloat during difficult times because it directly relates to our mental health and our capacity to persevere, sustain ourselves, and manage negative reactions from those around us who are also likely to be struggling with a variety of issues.
