Mental health problems in adulthood are commonly reported to originate from childhood adversities, but a study has found that people who experienced early life stress may instead develop resilience.

Embracing the Art of Resilience in 2022

The Roots of Resilience
Many years ago, I took a class from a woman who was doing her doctoral thesis on the topic of psychological hardiness. She was a nun, but not the black-and-white kind of nun I remember from growing up. This particular nun wore flannel shirts and swore from time to time, but that’s not what I…
