The Art Of Bouncing Back
With Esther WaltonSome people seem to recover from difficult experiences faster than others, not because they feel things less, or because they are somehow tougher, but because they are responding differently. Research has shown clearly that resilience is not a fixed personality trait you either have or do not have. It is a skill, built from specific habits and responses that can be learned at any point in life. Across ten audio lessons, this course covers what that means in practice: why pushing difficult feelings down tends to slow recovery rather than speed it up, what the research on post-traumatic growth actually says and when it does not apply, why the story you tell yourself about a setback shapes your recovery more than the severity of what happened, and how to build resilience before the next difficulty arrives rather than trying to find it in the middle of one. Each lesson is short and contains specific, practical tools, offering clear, honest, research-grounded guidance for getting through hard things and coming out the other side.
Practical, research-based tools for building resilience and recovering from setbacks, loss, and difficulty.

Meet your Teacher
Esther Walton is a UK-registered dietitian with many years of experience supporting people through some of life's most challenging periods. Alongside her clinical work, she has developed a body of audio courses grounded in positive psychology, cognitive behavioural approaches, and wellbeing research, designed to give people the understanding and practical tools they need to navigate difficulty with greater clarity and steadiness. Her approach is direct, evidence-based, and human, always focused on what people can actually do rather than how they might ideally feel. This course reflects that approach directly.
