to be in a good place (mentally)

[k_georgiadis]

She has been through a very difficult period but now she is in a good place

referring to a person's state of mind, serenity, confidence, optimism, etc. I cannot come up with an all-encompassing term in Italian. What would you suggest?

Thanks in advance.

Can't come up with a similar phrase in Italian.

Just as a working hypothesis: ma ora ha trovato la serenità/il suo equilibrio.

Hi, what about "...Ha passato un periodo molto difficile ma adesso si è ripresa (molto bene)"?

I'd too say "ritrovare l'equilibrio/la serenità" or, if you don't need to be too literal, "la sua dimensione".

Thank you all for the suggestions. Doesn't riprendersi imply restoring someone's mental balance? If so, I feel that "being in a good place" is broader in scope because it can refer to someone who has never enjoyed this balance. What do you think?

Not only mental balance, but also physical (bounce back from illness/depression)

This is clear: someone had this mental balance, lost it and then found it again. But what about someone who never had it before and who has only recently achieved it? Riprendersi does not sound appropriate.

No, it doesn't.
I'd suggest "raggiungere il suo equilibrio mentale".

I am sold! Thanks Paul.
