Post-Traumatic Growth: Finding Wisdom in Suffering

Trauma doesn't just break us—it can also break us open. Post-traumatic growth describes the positive psychological changes that can emerge from struggling with highly challenging life circumstances.

In Unfiltered Wisdom, we explore how surviving trauma can lead to profound wisdom and transformation.

What is Post-Traumatic Growth?

Post-traumatic growth (PTG) isn't about minimizing trauma's impact. It's about recognizing that struggling with trauma can lead to positive changes in relationships, self-perception, and life philosophy.

Five Domains of Growth

Research identifies five areas of post-traumatic growth: greater appreciation for life, warmer relationships, increased personal strength, new possibilities, and spiritual development.

The Path to Growth

Growth doesn't happen automatically. It requires active engagement with trauma's meaning, support from others, and time to process and integrate the experience.

Cultivating Growth

Meaning-Making: Find personal meaning in your trauma experience.

Narrative Reconstruction: Rewrite your trauma story to include growth and resilience.
