Even in the best of circumstances, life can seem like a parade of traumatic events. The good news: we all have the ability to grow from adversity. Researchers call this “post-traumatic growth.” How We Grow Through What We Go Through brings us easy-to-understand practices to turn everyday experiences into a source of resilience and strength.

Full Description

Turn your everyday experiences into a source of strength with the easy-to-learn practices in this uplifting guide to post-traumatic growth.

Trauma pervades every aspect of our lives, particularly in recent years between climate change, social justice issues, the coronavirus pandemic, and more.

  • Trauma-informed self-compassion practices that make you more resilient to the world around you
  • Skills to set boundaries to aid in your healing
  • Dozens of other ways to turn your difficult experiences toward growth

Simple and to the point, each chapter offers practices, self-assessments, enlightening science facts, and advice for the real world—perfect for reading a page or two after an exhausting day or sharing with others when they need a lift.

No one gets a pass from life’s challenges. The good news is, we are hardwired to turn them into a source of strength. Turn to this book anytime you need to find out How We Grow Through What We Go Through.
