Resilience Is a Natural Response
Resilience is an inherent quality in most individuals that surfaces following traumatic events, often without the need for professional intervention. Instead of defaulting to immediate psychological debriefing, allowing natural emotional processing can be more effective. Overemphasis on discussing trauma can disrupt the resilience process and even contribute to PTSD. People often feel various natural responses—such as anxiety or sadness—after trauma, but typically return to their baseline after a few weeks. The misconception that all trauma leads to long-term damage overlooks the reality that many individuals successfully cope with adversity. Emotional support and felt love play a critical role in fostering resilience and recovery.
