A short spoken excerpt (by James Laughlin) reflecting on post-traumatic growth: the speaker frames trauma as a universal experience and argues that consciously learning from traumatic events can increase resilience and turn hardship into advantage.
There is a lot of value in post traumatic growth. And we often think when we're going through the thing, how bad it is and how detrimental it is to our health and all that stuff. But those going through those things, I call it going through the fire and realizing that none of us are getaway. We all at some point are exposed to trauma. And post traumatic growth is when you learn from that. You're consciously aware of that process of going through that and how that can end up making me more resilient and using everything to your advantage.
