PTSD  or Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder  is at the center of national conversation and a widely recognized psychological condition. But an equally valid  though lesser known outcome of trauma is post-traumatic growth. While many survivors suffer long-term emotional damage  over the last several decades psychologists have discovered that with the right circumstances and proper support  survivors can actually emerge from their trauma stronger  more focused  and with a new and clear vision for the future. In fact  as many as two-thirds of trauma survivors report positive changesfar more than suffer from PTSD.  But how can terrible events lead to remarkable and dramatic breakthroughs? Upside seeks to answer this question by taking a deep-dive look at this burgeoning new field of study. Comprised of interviews with leading researchers and dozens of trauma survivors  Rendon paints a vivid and comprehensive portrait of this groundbreaking field. With accessible language  prescriptive takeaways  and specific tools to promote positive responses to trauma  this book is perfect for anyone interested in the ways that traumatic events shape people. It is particularly useful for trauma survivors or their loved ones seeking a more hopeful and positive future.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44959863013429,"sku":"ByrdShop_1476761639","price":26.65,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9781476761633.jpg?v=1770376839","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/upside-the-new-science-of-posttraumatic-growth","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
