Top Five Resilience Factors 5. Autonomy (What do I have control over and how to make things happen?)
4. Self Esteem
Sense of Self – Personal Preferences (likes & dislikes) Sense of Self Worth – When do you feel loved and valued. Sense of Self-efficacy – How do I affect change? – How do I
make things happen? 3. External Support Systems (Can be a person, pet, fantasy) 2. Affiliation (with a cohesive supportive group) 1. YOU!
Positive Experiences with people outside their abusive environment, especially people in positions of authority
