Post-Traumatic Growth is best described as the positive psychological changes that some individuals experience in the aftermath of a challenging or traumatic event.

In this episode we discuss the answers to the following questions and share some our our own personal experiences.

What is Post-Traumatic Growth?

Does everyone experience Post-Traumatic Growth?

What are the personality traits of those who experience Post-Traumatic Growth?

How do you increase your chances of Post-Traumatic Growth? 

Can Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder and Post-Traumatic Growth co-exist?

What does the term "finding meaning" mean, and what does it have to do with Post-Traumatic Growth?
