Abstract
This paper examines literature around resilience, through three broad lenses of research: neuroscience, personality theory, and development, and the essence of its origin in humans. The author investigates where resilience comes from and how best to support its emergence in a counselling setting. As an examination from the inside out, the paper begins with neurobiological factors, moving to personality, and concluding with development and external influences. The purpose of this project was to better understand how people may seem more or less resilient and to identify various ways to support and foster resilience as a counsellor. Based on the literature review findings, a collection of multilayered resources has been curated, ranging from somatic based activities to creative expression, to inspire counsellors in assisting clients to build flexibility and individual strengths.
