How often do you encounter storms which seem impossible to steer your way through?
No matter where we are psychologically, emotional upset can leave us shipwrecked, unable to enjoy life and pursue our dreams. This is when most of us feel defeated, give up and start doubting ourselves.
Research shows that your ability to “bounce back” from hardship, trauma, or life stressors is determined largely by your personal resilience—how well you cope, adapt, and even thrive in the face of difficulty.
The good news is that you can learn to be more resilient. In this course, you will learn concrete, science-backed methods to improve your resilience, emotional strength, and flexibility.

Professional Instruction
This course is more than just a couple of boring videos or some repetitive life coach mantras you can hear anywhere. I have combined my knowledge from my professional education and private practice, along with research and development from the positive psychology movement, to create a course that will make a real difference.
Hi, I'm Whit.
I became a mental health therapist in order to provide care to clients with challenging diagnoses, including severe anxiety, complex trauma, and dissociation.
I specialize in the hard stuff, but it turns out what works for some of the most difficult mental health problems also works for everyday concerns. In fact, I have learned that no one needs to be in the "perfect place" to learn and to grow.
You, like my clients, can start right now, right where you're at. Whether you are in a calm stretch of sea or a facing down a 40-foot wave, this class is for you.
