Stress Inoculation
When referring to RBT, stress inoculation is training in which the student is exposed to stress in a controlled and measured way to increase their "psychological resilience" against stressors. This is intended to help with the consequences of previous stress and 'inoculate' against future stressors. Training occurs in a highly controlled setting where the student learns adaptive strategies for dealing with the situation in the future.
“The best training program in the world is absolutely worthless without the will to execute it properly, consistently, and with intensity” --John Romaniello
