Trauma and the Resilience Paradox: The Key Role of Regulatory Flexibility with Dr. George Bonanno CE Credit Request Form |
The Melissa Institute CEU Request
Decades of research has shown that response to potentially traumatic events produce various prototypical trajectories of outcome, the most common being a stable trajectory of healthy functioning, or resilience. Paradoxically, correlates of these patterns show uniformly small effects, i.e., they say little about who will be resilient and who not. Possible explanations for this paradox include the fact that the challenges presented by highly aversive situations are highly variable and that virtually all traits and behaviors have both costs and benefits. Thus, what works in one situation may not work as well, or may even be harmful, in another. How can people solve this paradox and find their way to resilience? The answer, I will propose, is through the process of flexible self-regulation. I will elaborate on this process in some detail and conclude the talk by reviewing recent studies and new directions on regulatory flexibility.
Learning Objectives:
Participants will be able to:
1) Distinguish prototypical patterns of trauma reactions.
2) Apply knowledge of divergent response patterns to clinical practice or in mental health settings.
3) Recognize response flexibility as a key process component of resilient outcomes.
