What Might Inhibit Resilience?
Sometimes there are factors that can hinder the resilience responses a person has worked so hard to build up. One really complex factor is perception. If a person perceives that they do not have any control or influence over a situation,
or even their life in general, resilience can be greatly impacted. Note that this does not necessarily reflect reality, only the perception of the individual.
Another factor that may inhibit resilience is a combination of the person’s social support network and perception. Individuals who receive unsupportive, critical, or unreceptive support from their network (or perceive that they are getting this type of support) are less likely to be resilient when faced with difficult times.

Perception is very powerful in how a person reacts to the world around them. If they believe that they do not have control in what happens, or whatever they need at a particular time, they will ultimately feel powerless to make the necessary changes to their life.
