Many survivors experience increased well-being after trauma. In the aftermath of shocking events, people often start over and rethink their priorities. They might change careers to better match their values or reconnect with estranged friends. Many experience greater purpose, stronger connections, or deepened spirituality. Psychologists call this “posttraumatic growth,” or PTG, and it’s fairly common: In one meta-study of more than 10,000 trauma survivors, about 50% reported at least some PTG.

Well that’s awesome, and surprising news actually. I’m a survivor of the 2008 financial crisis and thankfully I managed to reinvent myself personally and professionally. I didn’t do it without help though. I worked with an amazing psychologist/seminar leader (Joel Brass, if you’re interested in polishing some communication and relationship skills) and energy healer + life coach (CranioSacral Therapy, which is a gentle, hands-on approach that releases tensions deep in the body to relieve pain and dysfunction and improve whole-body health and performance). Just sayin’ :) Hugs. XO
Blessings,
