The term permacrisis – meaning an extended period of instability and insecurity – burst onto the scene at a time when expecting the unexpected almost became normal. The world seemed to be experiencing its fair share of turmoil between a global pandemic, wars, natural disasters, and inflation just to name a few. And with this seemingly new normal came an increased need to steer through some pretty rough metaphorical waters.
While our experts are quick to point out that the facts paint a grim picture – noting an example that search engine inquiries for ‘burnout’ have soared in recent years – they remain optimistic that overcoming these challenges is feasible with a little training of our psychological and emotional responses. Learning how to reframe situations that we experience and acknowledging their impacts and results will go a long way toward developing necessary problem-solving skills and personal resilience.
