That person will still be upset, but validation helps them maintain some self-worth and optimism. So often, when we talk about our mental…
Link – Move Forward in Resilience
Yes, absolutely! Thankfully, trauma doesn’t have to be the end. We know if individuals get help and have a support system, they can heal. They are resilient.
