Phase 2: Resilience
Three Phases of Trauma Recovery
Once progress is made in the Healing phase, you then enter the phase of Resilience. In this phase, you begin to rebuild your life and develop the resilience needed to cope with future challenges:
Building Coping Skills: Resilience involves developing healthy coping mechanisms to deal with stress and triggers. This might include mindfulness techniques, deep breathing exercises, or positive self-talk.
Reconnecting with Others:
Rebuilding social connections and relationships is a crucial aspect of resilience. Supportive friends and family can provide a strong foundation for recovery.
Self-Empowerment:
Resilience is also about regaining a sense of control and empowerment in your life. Setting and achieving small goals can boost your confidence and self-esteem.
Professional Help:
Many individuals find therapy or counseling beneficial in this phase to continue processing their trauma and learning additional tools for resilience.
