Maria Ruberto - Advancing Despite Adversity

Settle in and grab your notebooks, you’re in for a good one. We’re joined by Maria Ruberto, director and founder of Salutegenics Psychology, who just happens to be Ryan and Josh’s (ex) psychologist. Maria is the co-designer of Resilience First Aid, an internationally recognised two-day certification program, which teaches the neuroscience of resilience (Ryan took sooooo many notes). We discuss with Maria the relationship between biology and behaviour, and the six domains of resilience. Getting technical, we delve into the negatives of screen time (hello darkness our old friend) and the ridiculously positive benefits of doing stuff with other people. So join us as we get started on building our resilience toolbox, practice breathing like a baby AND co-regulate like it’s no one’s business. 0:00 – Let’s Define Resilience 17:05 – Neuro-Mechanics of Wellbeing 29:43 – Why is it so hard at the moment? 35:13 – 6 Domains of Resilience 52:44 – Doing Stuff with Other People is Good 56:41 – Survival of the Fittest: Social Interaction 1:13:51 – Neurodivergent Co-regulation 1:18:15 – Partial to a sparkle To sign up to Maria’s Resilience First Aid training, follow this link: https://bit.ly/3WuhOFG 🎧Things to listen to: Dr Emily - A Guide To Getting Therapy - https://bit.ly/3WSCF7f The Academy of Imperfection - Ben Crowe - https://link.chtbl.com/bencrowepurpose Gary Barlow - The Pain Behind The Pleasure - https://apple.co/4dzh356 Esther Perel - Let’s Be Better Lovers - https://apple.co/3Af9OB6 📖 Things to read: Stress Study: https://bit.ly/46A9bOB Defining Protective Resilience: https://bit.ly/3SFBQfm Resilience First Aid Evaluation: https://bit.ly/4dFRXll Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast...
