| Interruption |
The concept of resilience, that is so dear to me, presupposes - in most cases - another one: trauma. Resilience skills are best displayed when faced with adversity.
A definition of trauma is therefore necessary. When we think trauma, we think awful events: accidents, loss of someone close... What these events have in common is that the world, our world as we know it, comes to an end. Trauma is in the breach, the interruption of continuity and we understand why holding on to one's routines is so important in the grieving process.
