Prosilience

Where resilience is an objects capacity to regain its shape after impact, prosilience refers to a person's capacity to grow beyond their original container after such an impact.

The concept is closely linked to post traumatic growth and anti-fragility and originated in the the Touch&Play Project and Tribe.
Rather than attempting to avoid all risk of pain and discomfort, care and attention when the inevitable hurt does arise has the potential to cultivate individual and collective prosilience.

proscience

the nice part of your brain that counteracts the conscience and tells you to enjoy yourself. A good proscience will not only open new doors of exciting, dangerous thrills, but actually convince you it's safe.
While my roommate spent spring break "studying" because he had a conscience, my proscience let me blow the rest of my saved up tuition having the time of my life in Vegas.
