Abstract: Resilience in the face of the COVID-19 pandemic has become a crucial skill for college instructors to develop. Fortunately, the ability to "bounce back" from trauma can be learned and/or strengthened. This article examines pandemic-related trauma and the psychological benefits that expressive writing offers. The author then presents a sequence of five expressive writing exercises designed to help college instructors identify the sources of trauma associated with COVID-19, reflect on their emotional responses to the pandemic, and build the resilience they need to persevere and thrive.
