Summary

In this episode, I'm introducing you to the concept of post-traumatic growth. We'll talk about the definition of trauma and why it's a unique experience for everybody, why it's an inevitable part of life, and why trauma can be a springboard for growth. I'll also talk to you about why you don't have to have experienced PTSD in order to experience post-traumatic growth.

0:00.0	Welcome to the Widowed Mom podcast, Episode 8, Post Traumatic Growth.
0:10.2	Welcome to the Widowed Mom podcast, the only podcast that offers a proven process to help you work through your grief to grow, evolve, and create a future you can truly look forward to.
0:24.2	Here's your host, Master Certified Life Coach, Grief Expert, Widow, and Mom, Krista St. Germain.
0:32.8	Hey, everybody. Welcome back to the podcast. I'm excited about this one. I remember the first time I heard
0:40.0	post-traumatic growth, the term. I had never heard it before. And it was kind of that moment when
0:47.0	the record stops, that scratch, and you turn your head and go, what? Post-traumatic, what? I knew about post-traumatic stress, but I had never
0:58.2	heard the term post-traumatic growth. And I wonder if you've heard it. Maybe you have, and in that
1:04.3	case, I'll give you some more helpful information about it that you probably didn't know. And maybe you
1:09.5	haven't. And in that case, you're going to learn
1:12.2	something entirely new and incredibly useful to you as someone who has gone through grief.
1:20.3	Okay, before we jump into that, though, you know I love a listener shoutout. I am still running the fun competition to celebrate the launch of the
1:30.5	podcast where I'm giving away $5,100 Amazon gift cards. And you can find out how you can register for that
1:39.8	by going to coaching with Krista.com forward slash podcast launch. All the details are there.
1:46.4	So today I want to read a review from a listener who calls themselves P-H-O-37. I assume that means

2:04.4	we are friends. We were meant to be friends. So you wrote, I'm so glad that you have started
2:09.1	these because this is what we need to help us through this journey of being widows and creating
2:13.6	a new future. Krista has been a lifesaver and just what I needed. I hope others will listen
2:18.6	and benefit from her insight. Thank you so much for that. It really helps people find this podcast
2:25.0	when you take the time to rate and review it. So if you love the podcast or if you're getting some
2:31.2	use out of it, please rate and review and share it with others so they can get some use to.
2:36.9	All right. Let's talk about post-traumatic growth because maybe you know about it, maybe you don't.
