About.com defines Post Traumatic Growth as the following:
The positive changes individuals may experience following a traumatic event. For example, following a traumatic event, some people report positive changes in their goals, priorities, relationships with others, and spirituality as a result of re-evaluating or modifying their assumptions about the world and their life.
Dr. Darlene Powell Garlington Clinical Psychologist, DCoE defines PTG as the following:
Post-traumatic Growth is the positive psychological change experienced as a result of a struggle with challenging life circumstances that represent significant challenges to the adaptive resources of the individual and/or an individual's way of understanding the world and one’s their place in it.
It is an experience of improvement that for some is deeply profound.
In Dr. Powell's article I read and see myself. Yip-da-freakin'-EEEE!
This is not new information but it is really helpful for me. My traumas; an abusive marriage, a horrible divorce, family betrayal, separation from my son, and financial collapse. At the peak of all that I was a basket case much of the time. However, my soul, God, and the love of the most amazing friends have led me to experience fully Post Traumatic Growth!
I am living a PTG life and it is sweet!
Have a Great Day!
