Summary of Linda Graham's Bouncing Back

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview:

#1 I have heard many stories from my clients about their resilience in action. For example, Deborah had had a wonderful day at the beach, but was still able to think about her brother who had had a heart attack four months before.

#2 We all deal with stress every day, and we all have to respond to it. Resilience is the ability to cope with pressures and tragedies quickly, adaptively, and effectively. It is not a single best or infallible way to cope with difficulties, but rather the ability to adapt our coping to a specific challenge.

#3 The brain is still being studied, and new discoveries are being made daily. However, these discoveries are still far from complete. We can learn to bounce back better by rewiring our brain’s learned patterns of coping.

#4 In Bouncing Back, I present two powerful processes of brain functioning: conditioning, which determines how our learning of resilience is encoded in the neural circuitry of our brains, and neuroplasticity, which determines how we can use new experiences to rewire those patterns.
