Immunisation

In the psychology context, immunisation refers to the cognitive and emotional process of strengthening one's mental resilience and defenses against psychological distress, negative influences, or harmful behaviors. Much like the physical immune system protects the body from pathogens, psychological immunisation involves developing coping mechanisms, emotional resilience, and mental strategies to ward off or mitigate the impact of stressors, trauma, and negative psychological experiences. Understanding psychological immunisation is essential for promoting mental well-being, reducing the risk of mental health disorders, and enhancing psychological resilience. In this article, we will explore the concept of psychological immunisation, provide examples, discuss associated risks and application areas, offer recommendations, briefly touch on its historical context, and list some related psychological concepts.
