Have you heard of ‘post-traumatic growth’? Psychologist Dr Richard Tedeschi developed the term with his colleague in the mid-90s.
Right now, while most of America remains under some form of lockdown in response to the COVID-19 outbreak, I asked the eminent, award-winning trauma specialist how a person can transform in a positive way after suffering or adversity.
Dr Tedeschi is now Professor Emeritus of the University of North Carolina - Charlotte, and holds the position of Distinguished Chair at the Boulder Crest Institute for Post-Traumatic Growth in Virginia.
In this episode, you’ll hear:
🔹what post-traumatic growth (PTG) is, and how to spot it
🔹how to increase your chances of growing positively after suffering
🔹what you can do before and during a trauma to help you cope
🔹how many of us are likely to experience positive growth after a trauma
🔹advice on speaking to a traumatized friend or loved one
🔹what kinds of people are more likely to experience PTG
🔹Dr Tedeschi’s tips for those worrying about the future during the COVID-19 crisis
