How can powerfully traumatic events that shatter a person's life be the same adversity that so often provides the springboard for positive change and personal growth? Research shows how post-traumatic stress victims report striking benefits in how they view themselves, their philosophies of life, and in how they relate to others. In this workshop, learn the latest from positive psychology regarding how growth follows adversity, explore therapeutic approaches to harness and facilitate client growth, and even further, reflect on how these growth potentials have application for daily living beyond our work as therapists and coaches.
