Interesting thread on resilience.
From decades of work with young people in care, resilience superseded 'self esteem' 'efficacy' etc as a measure for good outcomes.
There is a connection between attachment and attachment style, particularly insecure attachment styles as an indicator of outcomes.
A secure attachment style is preferred. For children with loss or pervasive trauma issues attachment can be built through caregivers fostering a secure attachment etc.
Interestingly, children raised in very affluent families in which they get everything done for them, are classed as being victims of abuse. This may be due to an inability to achieve self efficacy through experience.
I work adult disability care and walk a non-verbal guy in a wheelchair every time I work with him.
We wander around all day outdoors in the woods and shopping centres. The wetter and windier the weather the more he likes it.
Just the act of being outdoors and asking him which way he wants to go has him relaxed and resilient.
It kind of attenuates attention and interaction. We communicate more deeply and more efficiently, with less energy.
Made me think of the Airborn example.
Resilience seems to make energies more available for making things happen rather than resisting things or making things happen that are distracting or not useful.
It is something to do with attention, originally of the caregiver, rendering the cared for able to attend effectively in return and attend to self, be self aware, hence self attachment.
Does anybody have anything on attachment and resilience?
