Trauma

Trauma

Everything in life that brings human un-comfortability is a candidate for causing resilience in humans. Resilience is a process of adapting and the continual change capacity of a person to social-ecological systems. The process of adaptation, healing, and recovery from a set of problems. Some of the people show transient and minor disruption. This is what is referred to as resilient. Others show loss, trauma, and distress, which lead to a state of resilient known as pathological (Bonanno, 2008). Many are the times when people face different challenging situations, and they have to pass through them. How they react to the situation at hand is what matters the most since it helps in the healing process. Some people take longer to recover while some take very little time to recover. Resilience differs from one person to another, depending on how the individual views things. Flexibility, tolerance, buffering capacity, and margin influences the way someone adapts to a situation of disturbance. Trauma is the first thing that one receives after failure, fall or events that were unexpected. Trauma causes a psychological disorder and leads to human discomfort. It affects the way humans carry out their activities and their interaction with other people around them. Different events can cause different reactions in people. Something that might be traumatic to one person may not necessarily be traumatic to the other person. This is brought by how people have been brought up and their way of visualising things.

In this world, some people live in poverty and wealthy people. People who live in poverty usually work for the rich. The rich can get proper and excellent services which include education, healthcare, housing and feed on a balanced diet. Despite the poor working so hard for the rich, they are usually mistreated. They endure the pain and never fail to do their work as it is supposed. This is a yield of resilience to the poor in that they are used to it and see it as normal. Tummala-Narra (2008) indicates that the middle-class value of North America and Europe are the most significant contributors to the shaping of traditional notions of resilience.

Resilience is not a regular thing but a daily experience to a human being. Daily, a normal human being sets the goals that need to be achieved. However, many factors are kept constant during the planning, and they may emerge in the process and makes plans to fail. The constitutional style of pessimistic disposes of a risk which leads to poor performance, anxiety increase and success expectations go down due to discouragement. The un-accomplishment of the goals due to a problem brings trauma as the expectation are not reached. This makes the person feel like a failure due to the un-accomplishment, which brings discomfort. Trauma is then followed by resilience or recovery since resilience and recovery are two different words. Though humans pass through different challenges, the act of being calm and normal is what is referred to as resilience. At the same time, recovery is the process of healing from something that had caused emotional stress..

A mental condition in a human being is critical. Mentally ill people are complicated to live with at times. They usually require a lot of attention all the time, and sometimes the care-takers may be faint-hearted by what they do. In some, their mode of communication is not transparent and may be seeking something, yet you do not understand them. Resilience is vital when dealing with such kind of people since patience end endurance are required when handling them. Their needs are similar to that of a normal human being and thus being incorporated. People may be passing through difficult times, and they end up affecting their mental stability which is dangerous. This shows that these people cannot hold pressure that is they are not resilient. Such kind of people requires counselling for them not to things that they might regret. In Australia, Meadows et al (2012) indicate that mental health studies have been improved. The third edition has come up with four new parts that will help in handling mental health. The daily increase of people with mental health problems, the new strategy was to be adopted to ensure that they are well taken care of. Hercelinskyj (2019) says that mental health workers are crucial. Their retention and recruitment will at list boost resilience in many patients since most of the nursing students did not understand mental health scope. The four chapters increased would assist the nurses specialising in mental health to have more and better understanding.

Global warming is real, and many people have been affected by the results it has brought. People have been asked to stay calm and avoid any panic. This has shown resilience as people are enduring the effects of increased temperature and flooding. This supports Bananno’s theory that resilience is not recovery from loss and trauma alone, but it is a daily event. Global warming has increased the diseases and catastrophic events which have led to people being in a state that is not pleasing. Floods sweep away the entire investment destroying houses, and some are carried away. This causes people to be troubled about what will happen next

The children are fragile the environment they grow in affects them both emotionally and physically. The society is critical in ensuring the safety and health of the children around them. Children learn from the mature people that surround them. With this, they also have moments of disappointments. The way the society handles the children may build them or tear them. Children that are maltreated form a population that cannot handle disturbance. They become vulnerable to stress attack. However, children that are well brought up; they are more resilient and robust. They usually have strong self-esteem and therefore, able to coup up with stressing issues in a better way. Children resilience depends mainly on other people’s resilience, especially those that surround them. In addition to that, resilience in children is dynamic. This is a clear indicator that resilience is all around the children, and they cannot run away from it despite their age and lack of many things that bother them.

Different ways can be used to encourage resilience. However, they are more of personal measures rather than medical measures since they are practical. An individual has full control over resilience in his lifetime and nobody who has the power over it. However, people around assists a lot in building the courage needed to believe in oneself.

People have opinions that they see are fit for them if they are executed. People’s views should be incorporated as part of decision making. This builds courage, especially to young children, and this helps in building their self-esteem. This propels them to a very great height as it will help them using the courage gained to have sound decisions. Resilience will not be a big issue since, in the life of that child, he has always been contributing to significant matters. This can either be practised at the family level or at the community level where the children are also given a chance to speak out and participate in issues following their strength. Brisson (2015) states that through the contribution of the children, they can see the world as a better place.

Hardiness is a state where one can oversee somethings or issues that try to threaten the inner peace. This form of strength is internal that emphasises on interrelated attitudes instead of alienation. The strength that comes from being hardy indicates that no matter how hard it may seem, one will be able to stand firm upon any difficulty. This requires a lot of effort and support since it is not an easy task to carry out. Hardiness also requires one to make his own decision to walk in that path that is it is a personal decision to make.

Self-awareness is very crucial. One has to know his strengths and weaknesses. This helps the person to avoid places, people, or situations that may increase the chances of being stressed. Though the person is aware of what might bring depression on the way, he is always resilient and able to live a good life. Control and choice are pre-requisites of self-awareness. The act of knowing what is required of you helps to control the feelings and thoughts, thus avoiding them to take over the control.

Resilience can be built through competence. Competence is keeping the person who has an issue occupied. Asking them about how they are handling the disturbing situation encourages them even to do better. This helps them to overcome the stress and able to go on with their daily activities in a more smooth and better way. Their morale is built, and no matter what comes on their way, they are strong enough to handle it. However, competence cannot be if the person with a challenge does not share the problems they have with a friend or a person they trust.

Confidence is one of the most critical aspects of building resilience. If one has confidence they will be able to tackle any challenge because they believe in themselves. With such kind of believe, they can be able to overcome what is easily disturbing them without any problems. Confidence assures success, although things seem difficult. The people also with a problem should be encouraged by others. For example, for children, the parents play a vital role. The parents’ encouragement and support impact the children’s confidence in what they are doing as well as challenges to come. The children grow with confidence having in mind that all things they can handle.

Having a friend that one can rely on is very important. Knowing that someone is watching your back gives someone a sense of emotional security (Brisson, 2015). The connection between the two in that they can tell secrets and express emotions help to relieve some stress and builds friendship. Father’s warmth has a significant influence on the adolescent’s. The interaction between the children and the father builds security that performs a key role in resilience building

Respecting how one is dealing with the issues surrounding their life significantly enables them to overcome the stress. Everyone has their way of dealing with their problems. When someone encourages the other person on the way they are carrying out stress management, they feel relieved. Also, add ideas on what they have that is healthier and easy (Brisson 2015). However, if the person you trust despises the way one is coping up with the issues, they feel like failures and may be overcome by the problem they are struggling with.

Most of the people are come by the problems they have since they do not know their inner strength. Discovering who someone is enabling them to overcome the problem better. The willingness of one to know what they can handle through their character is essential. The gifts and talents that they have can be very helpful in building resilience. The hobbies that one doeshelp to build a character that helps in fighting depression. This builds resilience and how they will be able to handle the next problem that comes.

People struggle with building resilience every day. The state of resilience is not caused only by trauma or loss of close people. However, most of the things that interact with human beings cause them to be in a state of resilience. Problems that are brought by what they do or from the people they interact with results to stress. The people have to deal with the issues that come their way without being noticed by everybody. Different ways have emerged on how they can deal with the stress. Coping with stress involves different things to be carried out by the individual as well as the people close to them. How they carry out to ensure that the problems do not overcome them. The activities are done either build or destroy someone’s resilience and the way they will handle the problem that comes next time.
