DescriptionIn post-traumatic growth, an individual who has suffered a traumatic experience somehow finds ways to turn it into something good. Typically:
ExampleA mother who has lost a child to cancer raises significant money for cancer charities. After a terrorist attack, people are friendlier with others nearby and help out. DiscussionThis is often a form of sublimation, where the energy created by the trauma is turned to something positive. This helps people cope and make meaning in trauma in that they can say 'at least something good came of it'. So what?So when bad things happen, find ways of turning them to your advantage, making them good. Help others to do likewise. See alsoTedeschi, R. G., Park, C. L., & Calhoun, L. G. (1998).
