They get to choose to not to.

And many people don't and many people do.

And it's, I have no judgment.

I guess I sort of do have a judgment actually, to be honest.

I believe it's better if we do look at our trauma because we can contribute to the world better.

I don't know if this answers your question, but that's what immediately comes to mind.

yeah absolutely so here's where we get at resilience the the analogy i love to use is of a bridge uh so think of like the golden gate bridge right so there are these pillars right really tall pillars that are planted firmly in the ground concrete and steel right some of the strongest

materials we know right and so that's like internal strength in a person and then there are external supports right so then there's the I forget what you call them the bands or whatever you call the cables

The cables, thank you.

Those are external support.

So we have internal strengths that we want to make the most of and notice and call out and do more of.

And then we have external supports like the cables that keep the Golden Gate Bridge standing for how many decades or hundreds of years, however long it's been now.
