and how is this as to how we can make those clause positive change? i mean, for a station in the rain forest continue carbon dioxide emission passwords and again the people of the world are we? what impact because the change doesn't happen. the make up your own mind me a fateful encounter. in the late 19 seventy's former concentration comes in my general, most meisner meant the man who had to maintain him goose, dump dog, known as the beast of sylvie bar. shame on you. tell the truth. to use nicer, wagner was dead and investigation concluded that it was suicide. but the fire give
12:03 pm
rise to don't really have to go see the january 27th on the we are living in an era of crises worldwide. around 1000000000 people are suffering from stress related illnesses and that number is rising civilians highest. the key to resilience is staying healthy, even when they are faced with lives. great burden is. that's what keeps people mentally healthy, in spite of serious crises, while others breakdown that lives in your system and resilience as a net true anomalies the whole that enables people to continue developing after the
12:04 pm
experience is like a task drifted for traumatic events. and i promise reading researchers are trying to identify the secret to resilience. as against as resilience researchers, we mean to identify strategies that can help prevent people from developing mental illnesses. this car can we learn to be resisting the time? it was a part of mason been without sticklers to fitness,
12:05 pm
the greatest loss that a father can experience for like your body mine son luca was killed here january evening. this was i'm so small. lucas mother, helen called me on a saturday morning just after 7. and she just said one thing on luca instead of 2 guys told me after a birthday party got a club, look up and just friend freddy. both 16 got into an argument with another group of teenagers. leon tried to calm things down, but the situation escalated ended with freddie being pushed in front of an oncoming train. luca was pulled along with him and away
12:06 pm
gets a tragedy the gale by mine shares with sending and viewing vacant. freddy's parents, they all grieve for their 2 sons. in 2019, the police appeared at the big store. early in the morning the this went into my system, they said we should sit down. no, no, and it was the worst sometimes of my life. one of teams, really just that one sentence. your son died last night. yeah. so what is the word not pushed on to fix and you're sitting there at the table. you don't want to believe it, but you don't say this can't be happening. it's as if the earth is opening up and sucking your whole soul away. is that your whole world is collapsing, the less than
12:07 pm
this interest if in the day, plays out like a bad movie. and you don't realize what's happened. you see it, i've talked to, you call a few people and then you're sitting at home and moved. and we were lucky, the friends came to us very quickly and looked after us familiar comes in, this elements could come a tom good choice assistant dislike. i truly understand people who can't cope. i felt that to this how the why did i get to live? but my son doesn't to double check humans on this month or 2 families have been fabulously long and painful. road ahead. the, the stress and even crises are part of life.
12:08 pm
nevertheless, many people stay mentally healthy. the question is, how the largest and center for resilience research in europe is inmates germany. here, neural scientist and brain research or professor is off a kind of research as the mechanisms of mental resilience, mind and transfer. and he's a photographer, what is mental health? and the address is to my interest in this question comes from my very early days as a university student, or a schoolmate and close friend of mine, had a breakdown in the 1st year of his studies. while i was having a wonderful time to me, it was all fascinating and great and you kept his father. and during that time i watched my friend fall apart and he's outside of it. so it was in the my point and that made me ask myself, why does that, why does it happen to some people not to others? just mentioned, or not even ish. what are the risk factors for mental illness? the, the simplest on to is that's
12:09 pm
a really interesting thing is that it's not just a really big, extreme life of values that can make people mentally ill as a nation wide distribution. it's not just a serious accident, an act of violence or the death of a loved one. interesting, but also minor stresses that can affect people if they occur frequently and over an extended period of time if of peyton eventually by letting it upside often mentioned. congressman kind of want to know. ringback ringback what do those with resilience do differently to find out kind of, she is conducting a long term study of healthy people who find themselves in a particularly difficult phase of their lives. ringback and even benjamin lloyd to induce that we take young people who are in this transitional phase from family and school to adult life and explicitly that are leading a familiar environment. the lesson visit, we see that in this phase of life, stress related illnesses tend to emerge for the 1st time or if they're pre existing
12:10 pm
become more severe. i understand these crush stacking every 3 months. the 200 participants in the study, answer questionnaire about their mental state. to what extent have you felt more calm for tenants in the past 2 weeks? 5 minutes i'm. i'm sitting on a pat train in my way home from work was a bit stressful for an bonds. it's samantha from boston essex. but in the mornings i would occasionally just make myself a cup of tea and relax for 10 minutes. and then i was able to settle down how much done bookings for good food and boss, that's a feeding drive it. as i looked, i went up to my home because we do this every 3 months. we get a very good picture of the stress levels over a long period of time. so if i decide so that we can see over that time how strongly they react psychologically to life challenges, you have to you in the i'd say somewhere affected more,
12:11 pm
others affected less of. and you can see again, when i'm in the land in the end, this gives us a picture of what mental resilience looks like when encountering stressors. that's all the last them. i just got up as a when at regular intervals, participants come to the institute for a thorough examination. college and this team use m r. i machines to look for indications of how mental stress is processed in the brain and the exam, and how stress affects the body. to do this, they take blood and here's samples the in on. we can measure the concentration of the stress hormone cortisol from a hair sample. cortez order issued in one centimeter repair typically corresponds to one month of hair grow out. so the analysis of one centimeter, or in this case 3 centimeters, tells us something about the activity of the stress hormone system over the previous 3 months. and so, okay,
12:12 pm
and i'm one of the results have been logged since the study began in 2016. so there is now a large database of information on nets and destroying the official intimately. we want to understand what mechanisms people use to stay mentally healthy in the face of adversity. because on supply, i'm on to render these and making it has been best. i can, and once we know these mechanisms veterans is that to utilize or strengthen them, especially in people who do not succeed in doing that. in this age it was moved his titan. i'm so that's the study in mind is due to be finished soon. college has already identified certain resilience factors, one of which is how positively or negatively the participants themselves assess their stress levels assigned to essentially. so it's designed as a, there seems to be a connection to optimism and the fact that people believe they can somehow cope and feet, that it will probably work out somehow initially when people can,
12:13 pm
does that seems to be connected to resilience a few months. so someone who cultivates this kind of positive assessment style or develops it over time is less likely to be affected. yeah, it should status. so can we influence how resilient we are professor insight high interest money on a 1000000 is also conducting research at the resilience center and mine's investigating what makes some people particularly resilient for me is your system for your 1st part. i think this is promising in terms of visual understanding psychiatric illnesses for many decades. and we've had our new moderate success in trying to understand how psychiatric illnesses, for example, stress related illnesses such as clinical depression develop and steen law. psychiatric research focus is primarily on the clinical picture. the science of resilience is more concerned with healthy people. you know like this 1st exploring the basics. what does resilient behavior even look like
12:14 pm
with our colleagues mortgage schmidt's? she's investigating this in mice. no resilience can only be measured in the context of stress. that's why they put small brown mice in the cage with a much larger and stronger white mouse meditation. we take male mice, which like almost all of the male version writes, show territorial behavior. this highest, this means that if you place a test mouse with the launch mouse and it's homepage, the launch mouse won't accept it, so some will try to scan, it will drive it away and this leads to social stress. hind press. the brown mouse is removed in order to prevent it from becoming injured. experiment is repeated for 10 days. they want to know what is the long term effect of his permanent stress on the behavior of distressed mice. after a day's break,
12:15 pm
they undertake a 2nd experiment. the brown mice are again exposed to the white aggressor mouse, but this time the white man was as in a cage. the researchers now observed the following. how to the previously stressed mice behave? did they stay away fearfully? are they brave enough to approach the white dresser indicate how i'm going on the steam when the shooting that the mice will resilience if they always investigated the white mouse a lot because it kind of as if they had never experience stress device and most exploiting on somebody else, however, we thought this might not be resilient central, but rather the result of a less than optimal learning process or the time most of the test mouse has not learned has not understood that this white mouse strain is potentially dangerous. because for these, if that was the case, this mouse could not be described as resilient to the available communities. i'm
12:16 pm
also just confident advisement. so is the intrepid mouse, perhaps just to dumb. the researchers investigate this question in a 3rd experiment. tier 2 large mice are placed behind bars in the cage. the aggressive white one and the brown one with which the stress little mouse has had no negative experiences so far. off of desktop stuff i'll just mouse was allowed to freely explode the box if examine and visit the different social partners and interact with them on the client side and us. and we were able to show their minds that are able to distinguish between the white mouse which comes from the aggressive strain and the brown mouse which is neutral and with whom it has not had any negative experiences . phone. grandma tom is resilient behavior about being able to distinguish between
12:17 pm
threat and safety. up to the same view we currently see of resilient mouse as a mouse. it examines the brown mouse in a completely normal and unimpressed manner. and it keeps its distance from the white mouse because it has lunch at the white mouse as a potential threats and unimportant. we consider this a resilient behavioral see no time 5 and say no troop. who that means resilient behavior in mice doesn't mean simply briefly confronting every impeding danger, but rather weighing up the situation and adapting behavior accordingly. the, this is richard ball. this is directly transferable from much to humans. feed the dock. there's a lot of doses showing the people who can distinguish between negative stimuli and youthful stimuli for better protect it against stress us an associated stress related mental illness with send gigs, press us up to editors,
12:18 pm
press pending patricia conklin and so for him. and in this respect, we are also quite confident that we can use this model to rise to the new rep on logical funding. so we'll be a local show. attendance officer, nice and moving on. finding her way back to life. selling vehicles tries to do this every day after the death of her son freddy, the options fault. and i said because bonnie, for the last time on friday evening when he told me tearfully mullin, i'm off, i told him to have fun. that was our farewell helps you to tell only middle side b. i can still see him in that moment. he was in a good mood looking forward to the evening with his friends. you've been awesome. and in retrospect, and i'm glad that the last time we saw each other was a really pleasant moment with which and that we said good bye to each other nicely without knowing that we'd never see each other again.
12:19 pm
on the day of the funeral, the whole town more with the families. okay. and freddy are very together in the same grief. the other stick guns are combined. and then the whole congregation walked a good kilometer here from the church in a funeral procession. looking on color, marsh, the new supplies that someone it's the one it was like being in a trance, all the headings that have
12:20 pm
a lot in the burial itself. but of course, you noticed that there were a lot of people there, so you don't, i'm for, but it passes you by and somehow you don't really have any clear memory of the moment. for me to be at home. and the funeral itself, like this whole happiness, this coffin with both of them. i don't know if the heaviness is the right word by in this burden, which is so heavy. i'm like, i already described it is the earth tokens out all that someone accepts the burden for me, that i could now pass it into other hands. maybe there was a bit of religion in me after all, because the physical part will be buried for now. but the emotional part of it will take a very long time before this wound is no longer quite so open. you said the engineer consul austin is the
12:21 pm
year. the mex punk institute of psychiatry know scientist elizabeth bindham wants to find out why do some people remain mentally healthy, despite severe stress, while others become ill under the same stress? g mazda cx, one topic we researched was genetic predisposition found on kind of side couldn't be that certain people are genetically predisposed to react more or less to stress . and therefore more or less the risk of negative defense. later on, such as professional post traumatic stress disorder and so on, be the pursuit one of the plus come out the should be last. i'm still elizabeth bindham wants to know could it be a gene variant that alters our perception of stress. to find out she's tracking down the hormone, cortisone, an important hormone for our metabolism and immune system that's also released when
12:22 pm
we're under stress. it's regulated by something called the h p. a access. when we experience stress, the brain is activated. this sets off a complex cascade of events in the brain, stress signals are sent to the hypothalamus. this in turn release of hormones that make their way to the pituitary gland. the pituitary gland then release as it's hormones to the country, low cortex, which instructs our bodies to make extra cortisone to deal with the stress cord, as all allows all the cells in our body to flood with additional energy to 8 in the fight or flight response party so what is it, what is a health stress also is the main stressful not a no travels to a goodness in the protein or gonna in copper on this, it's very important. we will prepare it for
12:23 pm
a stressful event of an inch class or does all binds to receptors in our cells. and that's a good thing because of the receptor as then report back to the brain. thank you. we have enough cortisol down here. now. the stress response is been switched off in the brain and we come down again. at least when everything's functioning correctly . the deed are using the interview. many people in the sit interviews, how, but normally when the situation is o, stress hormone levels should down regulate again. but you don't want the, you people with this particular gene or type a not so good at this. so say to them, the stress hormones stays high for long go. the question been to asks is, why is that? why are some people not as good at calming, down and others? and this is where genetics come into play.
12:24 pm
one of the genes responsible for our stress regulation is b s k b p 5 gene. it's activated during stress and ensures that an important enzyme is released. it has the same name as its corresponding gene, f, k, b, p 5. the problems start with too much of it is released then the enzyme which has its way between the stress receptor and the cortisol and thus blocks the stress receptors message to the brain that there's enough court. as all the brain is misinformed, it keeps fire and we can no longer come down here thinking because we think that stress closes too much of this f k b p 5 to be released. and that people simply release too much of the stress hormone, even off to the slice of stress. and we know that too much of this stressful note
12:25 pm
in the long term is bad. so many processes, including the brain, which also increases the risk of psychiatric illnesses compliment. the researchers have identified the f k d p 5 gene as one of several important causes of our hormonal stress regulation. the variance in this gene could be partly responsible for why we react with more or less stress. the researchers are now looking for a way to block activity directly at the f k b p 5 gene institute engineer at the end to chew to this has been investigated in months that have been given this f k b p 5 block with the day a more resilient to stress and a better able to cope with it. and you to the extent that this can be measured in amounts and i'm always mess and con. the next step is to
12:26 pm
develop a drug specifically for people in whom distressed gene variance can be detected in the blood and who therefore, presumably have a higher risk of mental illness. the, the south of france, psychiatrist and euro just focus stick with nick, works and lives in total. he's considered a pioneer of resilience research. the dramatic experiences of his own childhood give him a personal perspective. veering off of the by had a somewhat difficult childhood which motivated me to go into research because i wanted to understand how we can find our way back into life after war. as i had lost almost my entire family and i'll shoot it such a complete mess any as
12:27 pm
a 4 year old book, this was left on his own without a mother or father. hidden by foster families, he was eventually arrested and narrowly escaped. death is if you see the officer said for if you should be killed doors. so i knew they wanted to kill me and i was all alone in the car and i heard adults say he has no family. he is lost to life. to point out when i was a child, i thought this can't be true, but i rejected this curse me. so many the show. at the age of 11 sick of a nick already knew that he wanted to become a psychiatrist. after the war, he studied medicine in paris. the memory of his loving parents also helped him to forge his own pat machine. i fought to study, even though everyone told me, don't bother studying. you won't make it, as well as i made it. when the trained psychiatrist came across the term
12:28 pm
resilience for the 1st time, he found his life purpose cool for sheet. when i came across the word resilience, i said to myself, this is a word that needs to be developed scientifically all. and we need to bring it into our culture and to make people understand that if we a band and injured people, there will be no resilience, your publicity, all due to his own painful experience. one focus of see when next research is child protection. he's particularly interested in the interaction between mother and trying to see, and we shall be discharging our research into early childhood in 1981 on the island of on be a near to long on where we gathered a team of international researchers. the structure went on this, you know, mean the question was, what makes one child more resistant to crisis?
12:29 pm
while another is very vulnerable to it? well man, cool. he sees one of the reasons for this in the mothers of these children. if the mother is not doing well for relationship with their child suffers, this is a vicious cycle that can begin during pregnancy. do motivational to sheets we've been able to sign. typically demonstrate that when a pregnant woman is stressed, the stress hormones enter the uterus heat and the baby swallows stress hormones such as hard as all equal, which are harmful to the babies brain. these plastic off to you soon take what i mean is obviously toxic for a cell will do the. this means that the baby is born with cognitive changes that are not caused by the mother, but by the mother's unhappiness. ok, no problem, and now it will keep up with the the researchers identify a particularly sensitive phase in the final weeks of pregnancy and the 1st 2 years
12:30 pm
of a child's life. the new networks are constantly being formed in the brain during this time, the sheet that this so if nobody does anything, it's a neurological catastrophe of brain atrophy so forth. but we can intervene. we can intervene gently, very early and easily. and the earlier we intervene to the easier it is to trigger the resilience process. i think the machine will not get the child is left very isolated for a long time. the resilience process will be difficult to initiate issue i think of the elizabeth vendor is also studying this particularly vulnerable phase of life at the
12:31 pm
max punk institute in unit declares its assignment. the biggest correlation is an almost full she fold increased risk of having attempted suicide when someone experiences severe traumatic experiences as a child and even say how to even during pregnancy, too much stress or trauma can lead the embryos natural barrier against the mother. stress hormones to break the distinct wise, chronic stress harmful to the brain even because chronic stress leads to unusual circuits becoming weak iphone. and i finally got down to the end of suspects. the stress hormone cortisol causes this, but to prove it, she would have to be able to examine the brain of an embryo under stress. it's difficult, of course to get to the device, levine, brain, and expose it to certain factors and investigate how it reacts to that sometimes as
12:32 pm
well can get a key at this time. because this obviously is not an option. the researchers are using a novel method to recreate a developing brain outside the room. a brain like cell structure is grown from stem cells. the research was called the simulation of brain organ toyed use because i'm, we can only properly model very early brain development. it kind of because model all cell types in the brain and we comp model how different brand new areas talk to each other. so it's a very simple and limited model, but it's the 1st time we've been able to do this. ringback ringback how all of these open notes now these, these ones are about 40 days old, 40 days old. so that means we could begin at of top. yes, this would be a good time to start. ringback once the simulated embryonic brain, the brain organ,
12:33 pm
noise has reached a certain stage of maturation been entered team at synthetically produced court is all the effects of the hormone on the development of the brain cells and then investigated. ringback ringback ringback ringback ringback ringback ringback on seeing the desktop session and then we see that the students who might actually alter the development and institution of the gene expression of genes that have also been associated with the risk of psychiatric illnesses, subject complement. oh, i succeed one cent. there's no doubt about it. even in the womb, the mother stress influences how strongly genes manifest themselves in the child. and can therefore have a lasting effect on their mental health. finding that could have realized implications. ringback ringback ringback but it's also important to screen for psychiatric symptoms during pregnancy, so she had some clinics already screen for depression and treat the mother in good
12:34 pm
time at all. just went through with the info that i typed in there. and now many studies experimenting with using therapy during pregnancy to possibly mitigate risk of him, that movies have eyes and an easy cool, an easy cool up to feed on. environmental influences therefore, have a direct impact on our genes. scientist and psychiatrist. cutoff in a dumpster and skyboard is investigating exactly what this looks like. yeah, can definitely, oh, we think that environmental influences can trigger illnesses. so now the question is, how does the environment affect our genes again? and dong hska is head of psychiatry at the university of high board medical center in her laboratory. she investigates epigenetic processes. how and why changes occur in our genes you have to produce, if you need to. let's imagine we have
12:35 pm
a certain genetic predisposition. and there is a particular adverse environmental event and it's the dental. but how does this environmental event cause our genes to express or trigger, so to speak, and ultimately lead to illness country even if you can. this is where epigenetics play a role shop. in order to understand this communication between environment and genes in more detail dumpster entered team are looking at another stress. the m a o. aging, the provides instructions to make an enzyme, also called m a away model. what you mean, oxidation? this enzyme migrates into our nerve cells and attaches. it's some to this enact eclipse the area between the nerve cells. this is where our happiness hormones, serotonin, and north and different are normally transported from cell membrane to cell membrane. however,
12:36 pm
it too much of the m a way enzyme attaches itself to this and have to collect it turns out to be a real happiness eater. it's simply degrades a way to saratoga and norepinephrine on this thing is one of the main suspects and the development of mental illness is mano aiming oxidase a or m, a o, a for short. this is because m a o, a breaks down norepinephrine and serotonin. but in some of us this happiness eating m a o a enzyme is more active than in others. why is that. ready ready junction could take blood samples to monitor the amiga away gene and see how much methylation has occurred. methylation is a chemical process where i'm messing derivative binds itself to specific sites on our dna, deactivating the a. ringback this can be imagined as a kind of cap that sits on our genes, putting them to sleep. if the cap sits on the gene, it's considered methylated,
12:37 pm
and the gene is dormant, silencing its activity. if the cap is removed, however, it becomes active again. in the case of the m a way gene, more happiness eaters are produced as in tomorrow i m a away inside is more active and breaks down more serotonin and norepinephrine enough. this was fine. there's less of those hormones available in the snap. the cleft between the nerve cells and it may be easier for depression and anxiety to develop. this means that we are in a state of risk equal to these caps are on our stress genes to protect us from producing too many happiness eaters. this can make us happier and more resilient, but that doesn't always happen for everyone. cpg. what we saw was that negative life events were more likely to lead to the m a o, a being less methylated, i. e,
12:38 pm
having fewer caps on the gene and possibly being at risk. well, positive life events were more likely to be associated with increase to methylation . so that's even you. so that means the caps were more likely to be on the m a o, a gene, possibly indicating resiliency, and startles positive environmental influences and experiences can affect how are genes are expressed. because next question is, can this also be demonstrated in successful use of therapy that we've known for a long time that psycho therapy works psychotherapy is one of the most effective treatments for anxiety disorders. what we don't yet know is how it works in detail . and based on our research findings, one possible making the some could be working at the cell nucleus level zuka of to can even do the can we put these caps back on the stress chains with the help of
12:39 pm
psychotherapy dumpster examines the blood of patients were afraid of heights, she climbs the tower of the flight board cathedral with them every day for 2 weeks . the petition happens orthodontics, the patients did what we call an exposure exercises where they exposed himself to their fear of heights hub. so they went up the tower heads, looked down and asked her to therapy. we took blood samples again. and what we saw was that in patients with a successful response to psycho therapy, my m a we methylation had returned to the level of the healthy control subjects drums got also obtained at the same result in a study on psychotherapy, the number of test subjects is still too small to make a definitive statement, but the initial results are promising denied. so there are stressed gene variance
12:40 pm
that we bring into the world with us. and yet we could have a major influence on our resilience. if we manage to shape our environment consciously and well, the yes, type guns at 1st i was paralyzed. i couldn't do anything. this to got a will to keep going was gone. so you no longer capable of anything done that was at the beginning, and then things got better. music was like a prayer and meditation, a connection that helped me tremendously. the, a lot of people might ask where is gone. but that didn't happen to me. for me,
12:41 pm
music was my religion, my phone, and my family and friends. that was what saved me during that time. the lucas father, new york, by my office, considers go into therapy. the fact that his son had to die, the senselessness of it almost brings him to despair. was all. but i'm under mistake and you think about the trivial reason that led to this terrible end. you just don't understand. it's so meaningless. this is suitable.
12:42 pm
when the game's been given by mike wants to do something about that meeting with us this week. and that's why we very quickly have the idea of setting up a foundation to turn this meaninglessness into something meaningful it. it was sitting often together with freddy's parents. by monday, established the faust lowest foundation, a program that starts in kindergarten to prevent violence as early as possible. it allows him to stay active and keep the memory of his on the line, the at the mines resilience center psychologist me show, the vessel focuses her research on very practical help for people in crisis situations. she says that resilience behavior can only developed very gradually. but it doesn't work to develop training courses that somehow make people more
12:43 pm
resilient and more efficient within an hour and a half or even a day. which is perhaps what some people would like to see that won't work. and that's not what we aim to do is pull the. ready for vessel resilience is regulated by the self she tells us her favorite story to help explain what she means. by taking she stood at the story of the elephant in chains by jorge bouquet is about a very small elephant, a newborn being chained to a small wooden peg and a circus. suddenly catch it. but the baby elephant keeps trying to break free from the train. but to no avail, but it eventually grew bigger and stronger. in fact, it could have broken free on the go in feet complex, the belief that it can do it, and that alone causes it to stand still and not try to free itself. when we have
12:44 pm
the feeling that we can do nothing, but we are powerless and at the mercy of others, this is known in psychology as learned helplessness. best examines this state in detail in various experiments. and then explain a man in the experiment. the test subjects are 1st given an unpleasant noise, and at the same time, a somewhat unpleasant stimulus on their skin see because they are shown circles, triangles, and squares on which they have to press the different button. interesting because you trusted if the participants press the right button, they can stop the unpleasant noises. this applies to one group. in a 2nd group, however, pressing the right button sometimes causes the noises to stop. but sometimes it
12:45 pm
doesn't especially dental us, what one group learns is i press the correct button. so i have the situation under control. the stimulus is over. the other group learns that no matter what i do, us a chance determines what happens when this happens several times in a row. it leads to an experience of helplessness. there is nothing we can do to, candice flies to somebody. you might recognize this from our working life. i do a certain task and i always do it the same way. one day the boss is very happy and the next day he throws it back at me and says, it's terrible, i ship this. in other words, i have the feeling that i have no control over it. and that's a very important aspect of how stressed i actually feel. how does the experience of losing control affect future behavior? in a follow up experiment, the 2 groups can only stop the unpleasant noise by finding the safe green squares
12:46 pm
on a field as quickly as possible. to the 2 groups behave differently when searching for the squares. the result is that people who have already felt they were in control in the previous experiment, find these green safe places, much faster than the group that experience the loss of control, the whole successful and the stress experience that i've never been able to do this before. also leads to passivity, parts of it, and something like the story with the elephant, the system at the end of the night just give up. i submit to my fate. you then and sewing move further and further into the cycle of helplessness and passivity. tie itself the here for this type of the passing of th according to vesa. when we manage to free ourselves from the cycling, we can defect change in our lives. but what about the situations in life that we cannot change?
12:47 pm
just kind of like i may not be able to change the actual situation that triggered the stress, but i can always change something about how i react to the stress. and i think it's really important that i learn for myself. that although i don't always have control all over the stressor, i do have some control over my reaction to us, which tests that's what puts her research findings into practice at a school and by 2 o'clock in germany. she's conducting a w h o sponsored resilience training program in a 7th grade class. mental stress has increased significantly and recent years, particularly among children and young adults, largely due to the coven pandemic. or just making a solution for me, it's important that we give them strategies at an early stage that they can use themselves to protect their mental health and couldn't, that's kind of the bed. she works with the students on how they can free themselves
