Emotional Resilience Training was created in response to the rising number of children and adults who pretend to be fine on the outside but aren't coping at all on the inside. Shifting focus from dwelling on challenges to managing responses, we teach self-regulation, replacing blame, judgement and mental health stigma with responsibility and compassion.
Language is power.
Originating from MYTERN (Take Emotional Responsibility Now), Emotional Resilience Training has evolved into a language tool for navigating everyday stressors, practicing empathy, and being in charge of your steering wheel no matter what road you’re on.
Dr Jane Foster
Dr Jane Foster is a leading educator, researcher, presenter and author. Throughout her career teaching students of all ages in Australia and abroad, she noticed how the pervasive culture of blame and judgement can be damaging and destructive. This realisation inspired her to create MYTERN (Take Emotional Responsibility Now), which has since evolved into ERT (Emotional Resilience Training). In her doctoral research, Jane evaluated its effectiveness with first-year university students and found profound results. This simple language uses a powerful driving metaphor to decrease levels of psychological distress while increasing psychological well-being, life satisfaction and resilience.
