When looking at coping with change it is not possible to ignore some of the events which change our development, life events which cause significant change are called transitions (Jeffery, J in Aldridge, S & Rigby, S 2004). If these transitions are not prepared for, they can cause emotional difficulties or even physical illness. Counselling skills can be very effective at this stage as the helper needs to work out how to make the adjustment to these changes more satisfactory for the client, to lower the emotional distress. The counsellor has to first establish what kind of transition the client may be going through; Scholssberg (1989) in Aldridge, S & Rigby, S (2004) identified 4 different kinds of transitions: Anticipated, Unanticipated, Non-event transitions and chronic hassle transitions. Unanticipated transitions are unplanned and can be projected as a crisis; this was personally experienced when my parents got divorced.
The first step is control: a sense of autonomy and an ability to influence what happens around you in your environment.

Stress is defined as “the process by which we perceive and respond to certain events, called stressors, that we praise as threatening or challenging” (Myers, 2012, page 275). Stress is about an individual or is personal and is affected by the choices the person makes as an individual. The stress that is bad for you deprives you the ability to experience joy, happiness, enjoy life and who you are. That is why it is very important to recognize symptoms of stress and identify ways to bring the stress under control. The good stress is the kind that will help keep you motivated to be productive and be able to achieve the goals we set for ourselves.

1 Understanding the concept of Resilience Discovering the process of resilience 2 Abstract This paper explores the concept of resilience, a remarkable ability to overcome and prosper through any difficult life experiences one may encounter. Resilience allows one to remain positive in the face of adversity, to have composer in the face of trauma and prevents one from buckling under stress or pressure. Individuals possessing these characteristics are able to cope in ways that many find unexplainable. Through extensive research, the basis of resilience is discovered as well as the causes and effects of resilience on an individual in any given situation. This research takes a deeper look into discovering whether resilience is indeed an ability or process?
The need for personal esteem and feelings of accomplishment start to have a higher priority. Maslow believed that these needs motivate our behavior and are similar to our natural instincts. Maslow identified two different types of needs, D-needs and B-needs. Needs arising from deprivation include physiological, security, social and esteem needs called deficiency needs (D-needs). A desire to grow as a person create our growth needs (also known as being needs or B-needs).
These characteristics include: authenticity, using adversity to advantage, persistence, learning from one’s mistakes, focusing on positive thoughts, other-centeredness, and seeing, recognizing, and seizing opportunities.
