Resilience, the power or ability to adapt well after a traumatic experience or tragedy. People who have resilience in themselves are able to overcome the trauma they had from the past and return to their original past. This can lead to survival because maintaining a balance in one’s life can keep someone’s emotions and actions intact, for example, being depressed or aggressive. There are many ways someone can build resilience to return to their normal past without thinking about any traumatic memories, and whatever strategy works for them, it can help them survive through those hard times. Having a positive view about things and keeping away from crises can help forget about the pasts. Moving towards the new goal that is set can give more courage when starting a new thing. Making deep connections with family members and close friends can also be easier when building resilience because they can support one from behind. Resilience is basically like giving courage to one’s self that they are able to forget about their traumatic experiences and move on to a new beginning which can lead to survival.

A source for that could be used to answer this question is a book called, Speak, by Laurie Halse Anderson. It is about a girl who went to a party and called the police which made everyone except her at the party get in trouble, but she realized she has been raped before she became sober and called the police. That made it a traumatic experience for her and she shuts herself off from other people. She loved to do Art so she decided to draw a tree for the school and after a few months, she started to open up to people which led to her confessing about someone raping her. She then becomes confident again and defended herself against other bad things which began her normal high school life again. This story shows how building resilience throughout a period of time can lead to survival and prevents it leading to worse situations.

Will resilience lead to a long survival or will the trauma return?
