Building Resilience - Behind the Scenes (videos)
By Christopher Shen, Psychologist · 28 February 2023


I was delighted to recently work with Luke McDade at LVM Enterprises to film 6 videos in which I share simple, practical techniques you can use every day to boost your ability to perform and respond effectively when facing adversity or challenges at work or life. These videos were created to help address the unprecedented high incidence of mental health matters in the community – especially amongst young people.
I have taught these research-based techniques and habits in my work as a psychologist, and in ‘Building Resilience’ training sessions with positive outcomes and success. Individuals report a diminishment in worries and anxieties and feeling more resilient and positive after regularly practising – helping them face the world more boldly and confidently.
I loved recording them, and am thrilled to share these videos with you soon.
Each video covers a practical skill you can cultivate to overcome stress, build confidence and master difficulties in life. They will cover:
- 1.Positive psychology, especially gratitude and savouring
- 2.Cognitive reframing
- 3.Mindfulness
- 4.Meditation
- 5.Using imagery to promote immunity and healing
- 6.Diminishing worry
These skills and videos are further supported by my book, Wrestling with Resilience – a Handbook for Developing Resilience and Mental Toughness 2nd edition. Weblinks to buy copies are listed at Publications.
I will be delighted to start sharing these invaluable research-based resilience skills and habits with you soon, to help you create a positive, and more resilient and successful 2023.
