so i know the wi fi, i might just do it and i'm hosting dw, and you've called past thanks trace amount, but there's no actually about move join us as we travel around your, facing the history of every day of that. and that's something right around the wells. no need to talk to you back. just as subscriber id, listen to pop, gosh. then we'll take you along to the right. so you don't think and do the same way you expect and more different things from life than your parents. i just want to pursue what that's my thought desired or you think your kid is 2 different, risky, irresponsible, reasonable stopping port is nonsense. i want my son to become a dr. joe in the clubs. it's time to, to get your generation with a sleep us. i'm them. when generation as class this week on the

dw says kind of fun. it feels like therapy, 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 off with a single and resilience is a natural phenomena, a whole that enables people to continue developing after the experience is like a that's just export from medic events and reading researchers are trying to

identify the secret to resilience. as against both resilience researchers, we need to identify strategies that can help prevent people from developing mental illnesses. this car can we learn to be resilient? the title was a part of mason been without sticklers to fitness, the greatest loss that of father can experience the light and

dark body. mine son luka 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. but look, the 2 guys told me after a birthday party got a club. look at and his friend freddy, both 16 got into an argument with another group of teenagers. they tried to calm things down, but the situation escalated and ended with freddie being pushed in front of an oncoming train. luca was pulled along with him in the way it's a tragedy. the gale by mon chairs would send him in view and vague. freddy's parents,

they all agreed for their 2 sons. in 2019, the police appeared at the biggest door early in the morning the. this wasn't as much as they said, we should sit down. no, no. it was the worst sentence of my life. seems really just that one sentence. your son died last night. yes, the storage not pushed on the 5th 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. what are the less than this interest if in the day plays out like

a bad movie and you don't realize what's happened, see it. i think you called 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 of this open ones could come a tom good chase espend display. truly understand people who can't cope. i felt that to this, how big the why did i get to live? but my son doesn't to double check a month on mine for 2 families having fabulous leave alone and painful road ahead. the. the stress and even crises are part of life. nevertheless, many people stay mentally healthy. the question is, how the largest and center for resilience research in europe is in mines,

germany. here, neural scientist and brain research or professor is off how you conduct research as the mechanisms of mental resilience, mind, and transfer. and he's a photographer. what is mental health for us as to my interest? and this question comes from my very early days as a university student, once 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 new and 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 on that side, why does it happen to some people and not to others as much as you know, and i'm not even sure what are the risk factors for mental illness? the, the simplest on to, as that's a really interesting thing is that it's not just

a really big extreme life event is 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, of peyton. eventually by the end of the tide, often mentioned coming back and kind of want to know. ringback what do those with resilience do differently to find out kind of shape is conducting a long term study of healthy people who find themselves in a particularly difficult phase of their lines. ringback ringback an individual with noise or indeed that we take young people who are in this transitional phase, from family and school to adult life since accidentally that are leaving a familiar environment. the last thing to visit, we see that in this phase of life and stress related illnesses tend to emerge for the 1st time, or if they're pre existing, become more severe, understands which 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? 4 times in the past 2 weeks. 5 minutes i'm sitting on a pat train in my way home from work was a bit stressful for him. bonds is that some of the sim messic, 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 dental comes for good food and boss. that's a feeding drive. it, as i looked, i want it to not because we do this every 3 months, we get a very good picture of 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, some are affected more. others affected less of a new coffee okey and 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 what 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. at the exam and how stress affects the body. to do this, they take blood and here's samples the we can measure the concentration of the stress hormone cortisol from a hair sample. cortez order issued in one centimeter of hair typically corresponds to one month of hair grow out. so the analysis of one centimeter, or in this case 3 centimeters plus tells us something about the activity of the stress hormones system over the previous 3 months. and so, okay, 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 that's entity following 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 this one 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 is kaiden. and 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. that's actually so it's designed as a, there seems to be a connection to optimism and the fact that people believe they can somehow cope fee that it will probably work out somehow. i need to know and people can, 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 help? resilience we are professor insight high interest, embody unemployment is also conducting research at the resilience center in mines, 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. we've had any moderate success in trying to understand how psychiatric illnesses, for example, stress related illnesses, such as clinical depression develop interesting well, psychiatric research focuses 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? with her colleague mortgage schmidt's?

she's investigating this and 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 a, almost all at the mouth, bush and breaks show territorial behavior this highest. this means that if you place a test mouse with the launch a mouse and it's homepage, the launch and mouse won't accept it, so some will try to scan, it will drive it away and this leads to social stress, orange 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 this permanent stress on the behavior of the distressed mice. after a day's break, they undertake a 2nd experiment. the brown mice, oregon,

exposed to the white aggressor mass. but this time, the white mountains is in a cage. the researchers now observe the following. how to the previously stressed mice behave? did they stay away fearfully? are they brave enough to approach the white aggressor in the cage? i'm going on the steam when the shooting that the mice will resilience if they always investigated the white male. so not as if they had never experience stress device and most exploiting on amazon. because however, we thought this might not be resilient civil, but rather the result of a less than optimal learning process of the time. most of the test mouse has not learned as an option to store that this white mouse strain is potentially dangerous because from these if that was the case, this mouse could not be described as resilient to available controlling these. i'm also just confident advisement. who so is the intrepid mouse,

perhaps just to dumb. the researchers investigate this question in a 3rd experiment. here too, large mice are placed behind bars in the cage. the aggressive white one and a brown one with which the stress little mouse has had no negative experiences so far, the additional stuff i'll just mouse was allowed to freely explode. the box is examined and visit the different social partners and interact with them on the continent side and us. and we were able to show there are mice 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 is resilient behavior, about being able to distinguish between threat and safety. up to a zane view,

we currently see of resent head mouse as a mouse that examines the brown mouse in a completely normal and unimpressed manner. if it keeps its distance from the white mouse, because it has lunch at the white mouse as a potential threats and during the port, we considered this a resilient behavioral c. no time 5 and span of troop. who that means resilient behavior in mice doesn't mean simply briefly confronting every competing danger, but rather waking up the situation and adapting behavior accordingly. the, the 1st one, richard ball. this is directly transferable from us to humans from the dock. this, along with the showing the people who can distinguish between negative stimuli and neutral stimuli. a better protect it against stress and associated stress related mental illness with send gigs class also to editors, prospecting, patricia conclusions or from. and in this respect,

we are also quite confident that we can use this model to, to rise to the new rep on logical funding. so we'll be able to go show kennasoft. so nice and moving on. finding her way back to life selling vehicles tries to do this every day after the death for son, freddy adoption default. and i said, cuz bobby, for the last time on friday evening when he told me to fully malim, i'm off. i told him to have fun. that was our farewell helps you to tell the ultimate upside be i can still see him in that moment. he was in a good mood, looking forward to the evening with his friends. he's been on the head and 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. on the day of the funeral,

the whole town morning with the families. luca and freddy are very together in the same grief the stick ends of mind. and then the whole congregation walked a good kilometer here from the church in a funeral procession and color marsh. the new supplies that someone called it's the same. so it was like being in a trance. all the, the headings i have a lot in the burial itself. of course you notice to that there were

a lot of people there seat on 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 home, happiness, this coffin with both of them. i don't know if the heaviness is the right word. 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 and come to think it's 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. he said when the engineering on so often is the

year, the mex punk institute of psychiatry know scientist elizabeth wants to find out why do some people remain mentally healthy, despite severe stress, while others become ill under the same stress? g mazda cs, one topic we researched was genetic predisposition found on kind of, sorry, could it 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 personal, post traumatic stress disorder. so on the the pursue on it a 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 we're under stress. it's regulated by something called the

h p. a access. when we experience stress sabrina's 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 gets hormones to the gets regal 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 the part is what is it, what is the health stress also? so is the main stressful not? and it travels to a goodness in the protein walk on it in copper on this, it's very important we will prepare it for a stressful event of an inch class or does all binds to receptors in

ourselves. and that's a good thing because the receptor as then report back to the brain. thank you. we have enough cord is all 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. 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 if you don't want the young people with this particular gene or type a not so good at that to say to them, the stress hormones stays high for longer. the question been the asks is, why is that? why are some people not as good at coming down and others? and this is where genetics come into play. one of the genes responsible for our stress regulation is the f k

b p 5 gene and it's activated during stress and ensures that an important enzyme is released. it has the same name is that's corresponding g s 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 cortisol. the brain is misinformed, it keeps fire and we can no longer calm down via thinking because we think that the stress causes too much of this s 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 mon, in the long term, is bad. so many processes, including the brain,

which also increases the risk of psychiatric illnesses should 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 institute. this has been investigated in months that have been given this f k b p 5 locker with a day or more resilient to stress and a better able to cope with it. and to the extent that this can be measured in amounts and i'm always mess and con, the next step is to develop a drug specifically for people in whom distressed gene variance can be detected in the blood. and who therefore, presume we have a higher risk of mental illness?

the, the south of france, psychiatrist and durham, which is both. you're speaking with nick, works and lives in too long. he's considered a pioneer of resilience research. the traumatic experiences of his own childhood. give him a personal perspective. now for the i 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. difficult as i have lost almost my entire family, and i wish it such completeness any as a 4 year old boy, his was left on his own without a mother or father, hidden by foster families,

he was eventually arrested and narrowly escaped death. the officer said for if you should be killed doors, so i knew they wanted to kill me and i was all alone a car. and i heard adults say he has no family. he is lost to life, they'll do for him. when i was a child, i thought this can't be true. i reject this curse said melody's 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 forward his own path from the scene i fought to study, even though everyone told me, don't bother studying. you won't make it. well, i made, it says, when the trained psychiatrist came across the term 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 part of the city, 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 what we shall be discharged in our research into early childhood in 1981 on the island of on the a near to long on where we gathered a team of international researchers, the structural length of us who knew me, the question was, what makes one child more resistant to crisis? while another is very vulnerable to it? well then 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. on the demo specialty sheet, we've been able to sign typically demonstrate that when a pregnant woman is stressed, the stress hormones enter the uterus and the baby swallow is stress hormones such as hard as on which are harmful to the babies brain. so in this class football season, and you can take what i mean is obviously toxic point of sale. would you be? this means that the baby is born with cognitive changes that are not caused by the mother, but by the mother's unhappiness of okay, no problem, right? now, it will keep up with the the researchers identified a particularly sensitive phase in the fight, the weeks of pregnancy, and the 1st 2 years of a child's life. new networks are constantly being formed in the brain during this

time, the sheet that best. so if nobody does anything, it's a neurological catastrophe of rain atrophy. so 4 feet, 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 i'm missing your box. if the child is left very isolated for a long time, the resilience process will be difficult to initiate issue i think, on the elizabeth bender is also studying this particularly vulnerable phase of life at the max punk institute in unit declares, which is the biggest correlation,

isn't almost full, she fold increased risk of having attempted suicide when someone experiences severe traumatic experiences as a child 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 on utilize circuits. the coming week i have to run, i thought you may go 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 developing brain and expose it to sit inside does and investigate how it reacts. is that something does give 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 has called a simulation of brain, oregon toyed use cuz we can only properly model very early brain development. it kind of because model old cell types in the brain and we comp model how different brand new areas talked 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 all stuff. yes, this would be a good time to start. ringback ringback ringback once the simulated embryonic brain, the brain organizing has reached a certain stage of maturation, been to enter team ad synthetic. we produce cortisone defects of the

hormone on the development of the brain cells and then investigated. ringback ringback ringback ringback ringback on seeing the desktop session and then we see the distress 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 associated conklin o hosted coupons. and there's no doubt about it. even in the womb, the mother stress and following says how strongly genes manifest themselves. i'm a child and can therefore have a lasting effect on their mental health or finding that could have realized implications. ringback ringback but it's also important to screen to psychiatric symptoms during pregnancy, so she had some clinics already screen for depression and treat the mother in good time at all, just wondering what the info that i so i think there are now many studies

experimenting with using therapy during pregnancy to possibly mitigate risk of him, that movies have eyes and an easy cool. um, an easy cool up for feeder environmental influences therefore have a direct impact on our genes. scientist and psychiatrist cut off, you know, dumpster and sky board is investigating exactly what this looks like. we're getting that from oh, we think that environmental influences can trigger illnesses if so. now the question is, how does the environment affect our genes? again and junction is head of psychiatry at the university of fiber work medical center and her laboratory. she investigates epigenetic processes. how and why changes occur in our genes 100 with this, if you need to. let's imagine we have 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 continued if you can, this is where epigenetics play a role. so in order to understand this communication between environment and genes in more detail, dumpster and her team are looking at another stress. the m a o, aging, the provides instructions to make an enzyme, also called m a away model. you mean oxidation? this enzyme migrates into our nerve cells and attaches itself to us enough to collect 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, if too much of the m a way enzyme attaches itself to this enough to collect it

turns out to be a real happiness either. it's simply degrades a way to saratoga and norepinephrine. and this being one of the main suspects in the development of mental illness is mano aiming oxidase a or m a away for short. this is because m a o, a breaks down norepinephrine to answer a tonin. but in some of us this happiness eating m a away enzyme is more active than in others. why is that. ready ready junction good takes blood samples to monitor the m a way gene and see how much methylation has occurred. methylation is a chemical process, or a methane 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, 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 only enzyme 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 the 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. the, what we saw was that negative life events were more likely to lead to the m a o, a being less methylated, having fewer caps on the gene, and possibly being at risk stop. 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 our genes, are expressed dumps. because next question is, can this also be demonstrated in successful use of therapy? that's 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 someone 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 psychotherapy dumpster examines the blood of patients who were afraid of heights,

she climbed to the tower of the flight board cathedral with them every day for 2 weeks. the assistant happens to exit. the patients did what we call an exposure exercises where they expose themselves to their fear of heights hub. so they went up, the tower heads looked down and after the therapy we took blood samples again. and what we saw was that in patients with a successful response to psycho therapy, 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. so there are stressed gene variance that we bring into the world with us. and yet we can 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 to got a will to keep going was gone, so you're no longer capable of anything done that was at the beginning and then things got better. music was like a pair of 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, music was my religion, my phone, and my family and friends with 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 the mistaken when you think about the trivial reason that led to this terrible end, you just don't understand. it's so meaningless. this is suitable. 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 mites resilience center psychologist michelle vessel focuses her research on very practical help for people in crisis situations. she says that resilience behavior can home developed very gradually. but it doesn't work to develop training courses that somehow make people more 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 for vessel. resilience is regulated by the self. she tells us her favorite story to help explain what she means. by dig, as she stood in the story of the elephant in chains by hateful ty, is about a very small elephant, a new born being chained to a small wooden peg and a circus. i'm to catch up to boot. 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

the feeling that we can do nothing, that we are powerless at the mercy of others, this is known in psychology as learned helplessness. best examines the 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. we talked, you can see 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 doesn't especially tell 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, 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 for life. so somebody 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 shift. 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 like. how does the experience of losing control affect future behavior? in a follow up the experiment, the 2 groups can only stop the unpleasant noise by finding the safe green squares 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 task successfully. i know 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 because she's give and then i just give up. i submit to my fate. you then, and sewing move further and further into the cycle of helplessness and passivity. okay, so i'll be here for this type of the passing of th, according to vessel. when we manage to free ourselves from the cycling, we can effect change in our lives. but what about the situations in life that we cannot change? just kind of feel 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 over the stress or i do have some control over my reaction to it, which tests that's what puts her research findings into practice at a school and but do a caught in germany, she's conducting a w h o sponsored resilience training program in a 7th grade class. mental stress has increased significantly in recent years, particularly among children and young adults, largely due to the coven pandemic. speaking 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 bad. she works with the students on how they can free themselves from a stressful spiral of negative thoughts. and feelings. first,

she asks the question, what happens when we are convinced that we will fail at something? so they can final thoughts influence your actions. tom, did you think she talked to it? and it may well be that you really can't do it in a soft. this certainly was then say yes, i can't do it anyway, so i won't even try on his way to get by negative thoughts lead to bad results. shouldn't the reverse also be possible? we can now that's the step food move yet to that one. so that's precisely where we can do something for our health and resilience. namely, by looking more closely at things that we've already achieved on guns twice. we often pay much more attention to the things we haven't achieved. and we remember things that went wrong. and we somehow forget even the little things that have gone well. what's going on is if i get some video fee, she does a simple exercise for this by asking the students to remember what they did

particularly well over the weekend, even if it's something small. it was my grandmas birthday last weekend and i factory k talking. i'm not actually that go to the banking, but i managed to do it. she really liked it and that made me happy so great. and it may do grandma happy to. yeah. as on the, i help my dad tied up my room on the weekend. one of my, i never do that, i always do everything in drawers and that's it. but this time i really did it with some structure and it was much, much better than just throwing everything in somewhere. so remembering the successes, trying not to judge experience as to negatively staying active despite adversity. these are key factors for resilience. we've learned a lot on if i understand the term now, i know more about the topic of resilience. had all funding
