The Duck's Back Method™: Resilience Without Losing Yourself
We often equate resilience with pushing through and getting back up. But what happens when coping comes at the cost of our wellbeing and our sense of self? Sarah introduces The Duck's Back Method™, her four-stage framework for recognising unhelpful thought patterns, questioning unspoken beliefs, reconnecting with who we really are, and moving forward with a renewed perspective. You'll explore how to respond to adversity without becoming trapped by the expectations, beliefs and roles that keep you in survival mode.
