I know you offer many more detailed programs in how to build resilience, but what are some things or tips you can offer just for people to think about as they approach their possible legal matters or stresses or working in the legal profession?

Sure.

So there are a number of skills and strategies that psychologists have developed over time to help build the resilience muscle.

The first step is really to acknowledge your emotional experience.

litigation, transactional law, these are all really heightened emotional experiences.

It's not just about the facts.

It's about the feelings behind the facts.

Maybe the attorney needs to get some other legal minds involved for support.

lawyers, law students, and firms of all sizes.

Yeah, so I'm happy to throw out some numbers there.

So the ALM survey is conducted annually.

The 2026 survey showed us some rather surprising figures.

And it's a mental health survey that was, I believe, over 3,000 lawyers from across the United States and other countries as well participated in the survey.

And so what we learned was that Over 33% of respondents said that they were feeling depressed.

And what was interesting is that over 48% of respondents noticed it in their colleagues.

So you mentioned it earlier, but why are lawyers less likely to seek help and try to mask and hide their emotions? Christina?

You know, and you might have some other suggestions about strategies for specifically these intrusive automatic thoughts.

Yeah, yeah.

So I think what's great is that lawyers already have the tools and the skills and the know-how, and it's just about reframing it to work for our benefit.

Yeah.

So when a stress-inducing thought comes up, the first step is to really build awareness about it and write it down.

So approach it like you're approaching a problem at work.

What am I thinking verbatim? What is this thought? What are the feelings associated with this thought? Am I feeling panicky? Am I feeling a sense of overwhelm? Am I feeling really stressed about this? What am I worried about? And then also note the physical sensation.

What are some things attorneys can do to consciously make that effort to form those connections as they start their careers?
