“what I learned was how to embrace and how to let go. This is the secret to life …”

“Individual reactions to trauma vary greatly. Although a surprisingly large percentage of individuals are relatively unaffected by traumatic events, some individuals experience significant negative or positive trauma consequences. Still others experience a myriad of both negative and positive consequences. This has led to a growing interest in the relationship between positive and negative trauma outcomes and theories that such positive consequences can exist independently of and simultaneous to negative outcomes. Posttraumatic growth (PTG), one such positive outcome, is characterized as growth beyond recovery directly resulting from a traumatic experience. PTG is characterized as increased personal strength, renewed meaning and life perceptions, and improved personal relationships.”
