57: Can Growth Rise from Trauma? - Interview w/Lindsay Faas

In this episode, I talk with Trauma Counselor Lindsay Faas about trauma, PTSD, and whether or not there can be post-traumatic growth from trauma. I ran across this article - https://www.uwhealth.org/news/surprising-benefit-going-through-difficult-times The author talks about post-traumatic growth, as a benefit. The author also states that research has found that up to 70 percent of people experience positive psychological growth from difficult times. Lindsay was the first person I thought about when I wanted to have a conversation about whether or not growth can rise from trauma.
