The Resiliency Center: Embracing Impermanence
I remember a time in my late twenties when I caught myself saying for the umpteenth time to someone, “Well, I’m in a transition period …” and it occurred to me that I had been saying that for almost the past decade of my life!

The Resiliency Center: Parenting Your Highly Sensitive
Is your child highly sensitive? Does your child seem easily overwhelmed and over-reactive? High sensitivity is a personality trait distinct from other personality traits like introversion or agreeableness.
