In the face of adversity and trauma, the majority of people will experience resilience and that some of them will even experience growth.
Trauma can feel like a heavy weight, but what if it could also be a springboard for growth? In this episode of 'Recover Yourself', MartinJon sits down with Jenna Velez to discuss the fascinating concept of post-traumatic growth. Jenna, who works with The Mental Health Association of Westchester Inc., introduces the idea that trauma doesn't have to be the end of the story—it can be a chapter in a larger narrative of resilience and personal development.
She sheds light on how most people naturally exhibit resilience when faced with adversity, even if they don't realize it at the time. The conversation also touches on the importance of vulnerability, self-care, and body positivity as tools for recovery. Jenna shares her thoughts on how grit, while often praised, can sometimes be a double-edged sword.
They also delve into the mental health challenges brought on by the Covid-19 pandemic and how social support plays a crucial role in overcoming these hurdles. By the end of the episode, listeners are left with a powerful reminder: life can improve because we are inherently resilient. Whether you're dealing with past traumas or current struggles, this episode offers hope and practical advice for turning pain into progress.
