A common definition of resilience is the ability to cope with and recover from setbacks. People who can remain calm in the face of disaster have resilience, and people with psychological resilience (i.e. growth mindset) are able to use their skills, strengths and tools to respond to life's challenges, which can include those related to: Death of a loved one (i.e. during the pandemic); divorce; financial issues; illness; job loss; medical emergencies and natural disasters.

In this Episode, Dr BB shares with her audience one young lady's inspirational resilient story.  Her story shows us not to fall into despair or hide from issues by facing life's difficulties head-on.

Dr BB also emphasizes that people with resilience do not experience less distress, greif, or fear than other people do.  The key is to use healthy coping skills and healthy mindset she introduces as the "growth mindset" to handle life's challenges in ways that foster strength and personal growth.  Hence, these resilient people emerge stronger than they were before.

Who can deny the opporunity to boost resilience, right? So, come join Dr BB to have a listen, share, subscribe and review this Episode.

Making outer and inner changes is an important step to take for love and relationship addicts on their road to recovery.  Taking recovery one day at a time is usually an easier way for addicts to deal with their addiction, and makes the process feel more achievable.  Naturally, time plays an important role in the healing process and according to Dr BB, addicts must not quit their support system (i.e. therapy and/or support group) prematurely.  Much time must pass and much work must be done in order for the addict to overcome maladaptive behavior patterns, thoughts and distorted beliefs. 
Have a listen to this Episode to learn more about the road to recovery for love and relationship addicts.

Dr BB continues to explore the topic of addiction, and in this episode she clarifies the situation of addiction to love and relationships.  She shares the fact that despite all labels, it doesn't matter what one may be addicted to, all addictions have a common denominator --- from the very get go is the attempt to control pleasure and pain by inducing experiences that 1) alleviate boredom; 2) promote a feeling of well-being; and 3) provide an escape from pain and sorrow.  The only difference between one addiction and another is the hook or the experience which helps the addict manage their life's highs and lows.

Come join Dr BB to find out what they are, and to attain her professional suggestions to make healthier changes in your life.
