I think ideally the scores are all combined.
That is there are three components:
- your ACEs
- your initial resilience/child protective factors
- your current resilience
That way everything is covered, and understood. After all we know about the initial resilience/child protective factors score, why shouldn't others?! IF it's followed up by the current resilience score - what you can proactively do today, with help.
Robbyn, the current resilience scoring looks good.
Tina, as Robbyn asked, what is the CD risk assessment?
I know of a few therapists who think trying to squeeze some initial resilience factors out of virtually none and apply them to the current situation, does NOT work. Yes, I had a few kindnesses along the way in my childhood, but nothing that could be described as anything consistent, kinda thing. And it's hell annoying to watch therapists try to wring something - anything out of such a score!! But at least the client gets to know what score they have and to go back there with therapy is pointless and to now focus on today, still keeping in mind that those initial resiliency scores don't make it easy, there's always that relevant background knowledge, but it IS doable to work on current resilience factors today. To acknowledge, I got a crappy score and keeping that in mind, I'm moving on...
I'd love to think it was possible for all or majority to agree on exactly what and how to administer this. An impossibility at this stage, I know, as it's evolutionary; and for all to even look at it, must be scientifically validated and grounded in evidence based research.
Can't help but feel a little impatient at times for all to be potentially on exact same page!
