Resilience Masterclass
Did you know that in cross-cultural studies of resilience, the Western Anglo- European Culture is the least resilient in the world?
Have you wondered why one person will bounce back from a crisis, and another person will suffer and never recover?
Are you interested in truly finding out the difference that makes the difference in the ability to respond to crisis, and recover from trauma?
This is a training that is used to support people under serious pressure. Developed by Richard Bolstad, who has taught psychiatrists and aid workers in Bosnia-Herzegovina at the end of the war there, Psychologists in Chechnya at the time of the terrorist attacks, civil defence workers going into the tsunami zone in Japan, and a broad range of people in Samoa and Christchurch, after the earthquakes.
In such situations, some people are resilient - they bounce back, or carry on re-energized; and others never recover - they have chronic problems. This is a training about HOW people develop chronic problems, how to undo that, and how to prevent it.
Help Others to be Resilient
If you work in the helping professions you will know that some clients are already resilient, whilst others are bogged down in chronic problems. This training will help you understand how to install resilience in your clients: all your clients.
No matter what your professional role, it is also possible to use these skills for yourself. When you do, you will wake-up glad to be alive.

What Will You Learn?
Over 9 weeks online we will show you how to use the skills of resilience in your professional practice, as well as in your own personal life.
As an outcome of this training you will be able to:
- Recognise if someone is responding to challenges with chronicity, recovery or resilience.
- Recognise the 8 thinking patterns that keep people trapped in chronic problems.
- Utilise research-based methods for making a difference to how someone feels (the same methods used in the NLP research discussed, plus additional tools based in Positive Psychology research).
- Utilise Verbal First Aid when first on the scene and make a difference to how someoneâs brain âcodesâ the experience from the beginning.

This is what someone from the program in March 2020 wrote to me just a week later:

Download Summary of the Research on NLP Techniques
The method discussed in this document is presented in the Resilience Training and contained in the Participant Training Manual. The method has shown a 90% + full recovery rate for PTSD across 4 clinical trials to date.
You Do NOT need to be a clinical practitioner to use this method. You do need to be Psychiatrist to diagnose PTSD, however the NLP approach to helping people does not involve or require a diagnosis.

My reasons for attending the Program was to refine my existing training and assist others move past trauma events.
During the Program, I loved learning the processes as well as hearing the stories and examples used. As a result I was engaged the whole time. And benefited from the interaction as it built my confidence to replicate these techniques. Itâs for anyone thatâs interested in the brain, thought processes and the ability to 'rewire' these.
My reasons for attending the Program was my desire to help young people become more resilient. During the training, I loved the unique blend of cutting edge scientific theory with ancient wisdom.
As a result, I feel much more confident both as an NLP practitioner, and as someone who can support others on their journey to resilience. These really are life-changing skills.
Grace is the most wonderful presenter! Her fun, yet informative approach puts everyone at ease and in the right mental space for learning.
The Resilience NLP training was a fantastic weekend where I learnt many amazing new skills, and gained a new understanding to the way the brain works and stores memories and situations. It was a revelation to me how easily these can be changed to a much more positive feeling and outlook! I'm so glad I took the training, I wish I'd found it years ago.
Thanks to Grace and Richard for the new tools in my kit for life!
