Resilience Redefined: How to Use Emotions as Data & Stop Feeling Stuck - Dr. Ute Liersch


Listen Later

In this episode, we explore:

  • Dr. Ute’s unconventional journey into psychology and what it taught her about human resilience.

  • Deconstructing the myth of “positive vs. negative” emotions. Why anger, sadness, and fear are essential guides.

  • What to do when you feel deeply stuck, and why “stuckness” itself is neutral data.

  • The concept of “secondary suffering”: how we compound our pain by judging our own emotions.

  • Making the “leap of faith” into big life changes without knowing the outcome.

  • A grounded, practical approach for surviving (and finding meaning in) situations you can’t immediately escape.

  • The real, engineering-based definition of resilience and why you must yield to pressure to become strong.

  • Dr. Ute’s personal self-care practice for days when everything feels “bloody hard.”

    Key Quotes from Dr. Ute:

    • “Emotions are nothing else than information on how we are evaluating life in this present moment.”

    • “If you are refusing to yield under pressure, you’re going to break. Resilience is an active part you have to engage with.”

    • “Sometimes the choices we have is between shit and a little less shit. And it’s still a choice.”

    • “My self-care is acknowledging that part in me that is scared, that is sad… and saying, ‘Yeah, because it is bloody hard.’”

      Mentioned in this episode:

      • Dr. Ute’s book: A Minimalist’s Guide to Becoming Resilient

      • Viktor Frankl’s Man’s Search for Meaning

      • The “Calm Authority Framework”
