In this episode of the Fat Psychologist Podcast, I explore the concept of resilience, rebranding it as 'bouncing back' from adversity, failure, and trauma. I critique the traditional view of resilience as a personal trait, advocating instead for a process-oriented perspective that includes social and environmental factors. I delve into recent wellbeing research, including systematic literature reviews, and highlight the importance of social support and positive psychology. I argue for group interventions and a holistic approach to creating environments where individuals can thrive. I also emphasize the role of counseling and positive relationships in fostering resilience.
