Summary
TRIGGER WARNING: This episode contains information about (gun) violence which may be triggering to survivors.
Do you think something good can come from a traumatic experience?
Or do you feel like awful things simply happen to us, and nothing productive comes from them?
I explore these questions in today's episode on post-traumatic growth. I talk about the potential for positive experiences after traumatic events, and I share what I have witnessed as a psychotherapist and in the aftermath of my own traumatic experiences.
