45 分钟And for a long time, I wondered if I would ever be the same me again.
I'm not sure I will ever get back to the version of me who I was before.
So many with PTSD do not know there is another possibility.
What if going through it, not around it, not away from it, but actually through it could actually change?
You in ways you didn't expect.
Not because trauma is a gift.
I definitely do not want that to be the message here.
Trauma is not a gift.
But because the human capacity to grow inside and after something terrible is real.
It's documented.
It's researched.
And it has a specific name.
It's called post-traumatic growth.
Now today, I'm sitting down with Christina DiChiara, a licensed clinical psychologist.
She's a certified trauma specialist
and she's the director of education at the Center for Anxiety and Behavioral Therapy.
And together we talk about what the research actually says, what it actually looks like in real life.
So welcome, Christina.
Oh, thank you so much.
I'm really excited to be here.
