Empowering Project on Psycho-Emotional Resiliency
In an effort to better understand, explain, and manage the psycho-emotional stress and related physical pain resulting from the paralysis of economic fears facing individuals and groups, Dr. Sankofa has undertaken an empowering assignment to interview and document inspired resiliency in the face of personal loss and financial uncertainties. Those interviewed discuss the tacit and not so tacit vibrational pull toward fear and pessimistic thoughts. However, in these series of interviews we focus on a continuing pattern of optimistic thoughts and the behavioral expressions that demonstrate an attitude of resiliency. If you have an inspiring story that compelled you to tap into your indomitable spirit to conquer depression and defeat in the face of the nation’s financial challenges, contact us so that your lessons may inspire others.
