Session Description<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Often when we talk about resilience, we look to the factors that protect us against the negative impacts of stressful experiences. Less attention is paid to what is needed after a traumatic stressor appears to have been dealt with. The question becomes one of how individuals can thrive when it is understood that the world is not necessarily a safe place, uncertainties abound, and feelings of control are often illusory. This talk will consider how resilience, in light of such challenges to our assumptions, might come about through our relationships with others, finding spiritual meaning or connections, and creating a space where one feels \u2018at home\u2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
