Turn Trauma into Your Fuel to Thrive
Trauma doesn’t discriminate. It can happen to anyone, anytime. And in all likelihood, COVID-19 has traumatized each and every one of us to some degree. Everybody hits a low point once in a while, and ultimately, the quality of our lives depends on our ability to process heartbreaks and catastrophes successfully. So how do we do that?
In Post-Traumatic Thriving: The Art, Science & Stories of Resilience, world-renowned expert on disasters and trauma Dr. Randall Bell interweaves science and academic research with stories of people who have not just survived but have used their trauma as their fuel to thrive. Dr. Bell sits down with survivors of the Holocaust; murder-victim’s families; crime victims; suicide survivors; and those who’ve experienced homelessness, disasters, addictions, depression, death, divorce, disabilities, defeats, and disease to explore the rare mindset of the post-traumatic thriver.
Review: Post-Traumatic Thriving The Art, Science & Stories of Resilience
My husband and I sat down last night and watched A Man Called Otto and we both had a rather strong reaction to the movie which speaks to trauma and healing.
I recognize many of us have faced traumas and we may all handle them differently. Some of us may appear to sail through them while others revisit the emotions of trauma. I can only stress in these circumstances self-care is extremely important and part of self-care is reaching out and seeking help to process.
Recently, I have been reading the book Post-Traumatic Thriving by Dr, Randall Bell whose nickname is “The Master of Disaster”.
Dr. Bell analyzes a thrivers mindset and tells us, “This is a life skill we all need because, by college age, 66 to 85 percent of us have been impacted by a trauma.”
In this read, Dr. Bell weaves science and academic research with true stories from survivors of the Holocaust, crime, disasters, addictions, depression, death, and other tragedies to explore the rare thriver’s mindset and proven healing strategies.
I received a copy of this book from Catherine Kennedy, Senior Publicist, Ascot Media Group, Inc.
