title: Eagle soaring: the power of the resilient self.
abstract: Adversity can be an opportunity to focus on strengths and nurture resiliency. Cultural understanding and awareness can be easily incorporated into therapy through empathic listening, a therapeutic alliance, and supportive understanding. Patients should not subscribe to "victim" labels. Resilience should be celebrated.
