Posttraumatic growth
Posttraumatic growth is a positive psychological change that may occur in some people as a result of dealing with a deep crisis or trauma.
Definition
Posttraumatic growth does not mean that the trauma was good, necessary, or that everyone should grow from it. Describes possible changes such as a greater appreciation for life, deeper relationships, a sense of personal power, new priorities, or spiritual and existential change. It takes time, support and processing experience.
