Resilienz und Selbstsorge im Coaching

Resilience is the internal power of resistance to stress and to threats to physical and mental health. Self-care refers to an active, self-governing organization of one’s own life, in order to deal with stress and threats. When we take these two concepts as polarities, we can understand self-care as an endeavor towards realizing and using of one’s own power of resistance. The author discusses the mental resources of resilience which may be useful in coaching processes in order to deal with situations of conflict and crisis. This can be understood as a form of training in self-care.
