psychological immunity

Psychological immunity refers to the mental and emotional resilience that helps individuals cope with stress, adversity, and negative experiences. Like physical immunity protects the body from illness, psychological immunity strengthens the mind’s ability to recover from setbacks, maintain a positive outlook, and adapt to challenges. It involves traits such as optimism, self-awareness, problem-solving skills, and emotional regulation. A strong psychological immune system enables people to bounce back more quickly, reduce the impact of stress, and sustain well-being even during difficult times. Developing this resilience can be supported through mindfulness, social connections, and adaptive coping strategies.
