Posttraumatic Growth: 5 Keys to Developing Resilience

Some days ago, I suggest to my colleague a subject for social skills, as prerequisite of enhancement mental welfare. This deficit in our education system gives rise to many psychiatric entities, with many psycho-social consequences. The same is value for posttraumatic experiences. In absence of this favor condition, your five recommendations are welcomed. The oldish men says that life is the most mindful teacher. On the other hand, each traumatic experience sprain our mental apparatus, with specific repercussion to our somatic and social welfare, as well. In the same time, posttraumatic statement indicates many useful lesson of real nature to respective traumatic event. This benefit enables our mindset to deal with success with future bad life experiences. For me, your second and third observation exhibit great provocation and challenge. My inner voice said that strengthening of family sociogram is neglected one, instead to affirmation of wide social network. This misconception, should be incline to first option, whereas friendship relations are of complementary importance in grief situations.

I suffer PTSD from a double rape in 1996. I've had extensive therapy of different natures as well as medications. I didn't tell anyone for 3 years. I was too ashamed. I knew my rapists over 2 years as my best friends. Obviously, I never expected them to drug and rape me. Due to the fact that they were prominent respected public figures in the community, I failed to report it. I suffer from blaming myself for my clothing, choice to go out that night, many things. I rationally know this is not true, but my brain won't let go. Due to the fact that I never tried to fight them in court, I suffer IMMENSE guilt that it probably happened to other women after me. Time has done nothing to help. I still plod on with medication and therapy, but my biggest help has been in becoming brave enough to tell my story to other women. If I can prevent just 1 woman from being raped, it's worth it. I wasn't aware just how negative it still effects me until I read the above quote '... I am cursed.' I feel that way and say those very words often. I wish I had my family's support, but I don't. They choose to pretend it never happened. Thank you for this article. I'm going to start trying to be more positive with a survivor attitude today. Maybe this will be the start of freedom from my prison.
