Friday Philosophies: Unraveling the Spiritual Threads of Post-Traumatic Growth

Jul 28, 2023
37:03

Join us for another episode of Friday Philosophies, as hosts Michelle and Wallis navigate big seasons of change through the lens of Post-Traumatic Growth (PTG), a sister theory to the well-known PTSD.




In this energetic and thoughtful back-and-forth, Michelle and Wallis share their personal experiences — breakups, work heartbreaks, and immigration struggles. They explore building resilience and fostering a "growth mindset" through the unique perspective of PTG.




Post-Traumatic Growth isn't about 'bouncing back', it's about 'bouncing forward'— following a path that comes from questioning our core beliefs, appreciating the little things, and persevering through it all.




Key Takeaways



  • Delve into the Post-Traumatic Growth Inventory (PTGI) and its five subscales - New Possibilities, Relating to Others, Personal Strength, Spiritual Change, and Appreciation of Life

  • Why traumatic events spark our search for spiritual meaning and the integral role of spirituality in PTG

  • Learn to build resilience, not through sheer bravery, but by taking small, consistent steps each day

  • Discover practical ways to develop and strengthen your "growth mindset" muscle that don’t require a complete overhaul of your life
