Post Traumatic Growth is an individual’s ability to grow and transform following major struggles but continue to grow and transform – “what doesn’t kill you can make you stronger” with a properly set table. Resilience is one’s ability to bounce back to baseline after something challenging happens. 2. Crisis is the external experience and there are two types: with a “C” easily identifiable and requires immediate action, and those with a “c” that are slow burning, less identifiable, and can sometimes trigger bigger feelings. Trauma is our internal experience and lives in our bodies - they can cause crisis situations or over-react to situations. Crisis and trauma can be intertwined. 3. Based on the statistics from the book The Body Keeps The Score there are many of us walking around with unresolved trauma and may not know it. EMDR (eye movement desensitization and reprocessing) is one powerful way to “unearth” what’s going on in our bodies to help identify the triggers to unearth traumas to work through the experiences to get closure.
