Description

Decades of research show that response to potentially traumatic events produces various prototypical trajectories of outcome. The most common outcome is a stable trajectory of healthy functioning, or resilience.

Paradoxically, correlations of these patterns say little about who will actually be resilient and who will not. The reason for this is that the challenges presented by highly adverse situations are nearly infinite in their variety. As a result, behaviors and strategies that work in one situation may not work in another. This is the resilience paradox.

In this presentation, we will explore how adaptation to potential trauma events requires flexibility in response.

You Will Learn

At the conclusion of this workshop, attendees will be better able to—

understand how traumatic events may or may not lead to PTSD
understand the key role of flexible self-regulation
