About this episode

This episode explores the origins of Posttraumatic Growth and its impact on individuals emerging from trauma.

Before Posttraumatic Growth became a global field of study, it was simply a question. As a psychologist, researcher, and clinician, Dr. Richard Tedeschi became fascinated by people who seemed to emerge from life's most difficult experiences with greater wisdom, deeper relationships, and a renewed sense of purpose. Alongside colleague Dr. Lawrence Calhoun, he began exploring a possibility few researchers were studying at the time: Can people really grow through trauma? This episode explores the origins of Posttraumatic Growth, the question that sparked a global movement, and how that work continues to impact thousands of lives through Boulder Crest Foundation.
