Post traumatic Growth. New studies show that 90% of people thrive after challenges. Post traumatic growth isn't getting back to where you were before, it's about thriving beyond that point - achieving heightened states of joy and awareness. It's the struggle that changes the individual, not the event. This is a concept similar to resilience, but distinct from it. Two psychologist coined this term - Richard Tedeschi and Lawrence Calhoun. Post-traumatic growth is positive change that occurs in the aftermath of struggling with any major life crisis or traumatic event. Each person is different for each person. Post-traumatic growth is a process, not an outcome, and typically involves developing positive responses in these areas: appreciation of life, enhanced relationships with others, new possibilities in life, newly identified personal strength, and spiritual or existential change. Dr Calhoun's book is Posttrumatic Growth Theory, Research, and Application. www.earthtriberadio.comwww.barefootenlightenment.com
