Groups
Posttraumatic Growth Group
Traumatic/severely stressful, upsetting events can trigger anxiety, depression, posttraumatic stress, and unhelpful ways of coping with the overwhelming effects of such major life crises. Posttraumatic growth involves an intentional attempt to understand and assign meaning to these events, transforming negative effects into positive meanings and change. This group facilitates posttraumatic growth to promote improved adjustment in a newly defined and valued life. Members re-examine events through different cognitive perspectives to reconstruct core beliefs about one's self, the world, and the future to find positive aspects of having endured adversity and to take positive steps in their life.
