A great interview. I absolutely agree that traumatic events, and surviving them, can definitely make us stronger and find growth. The only additional thing I've personally found is that one traumatic event can be overcome, but if several traumatic events happen in quick succession that's much, much tougher. Often people are permenantly affected.

true. my trauma went on for 3 years

[@trueetiquette]

I was hit by a car in March, suffering multiple bone fractions and head injury with haemorrhage in the brain and long sustained partial deafness. There are many things, that have negatively impacted my life, however, being so close to death, I've learned that there is no time to lose. When going out of my home that day, I never thought that I might die, but it almost happened. My whole life I was afraid of death and sometimes couldn't fall asleep, while trying to imagine, how it would be, when you don't exist. But it's of no use. Death will happen and there is nothing to be afraid about. Much worse than death is not living at all. For everyone, who is inspired by this topic, I'd recommend "the way of peaceful warrior", books by Carlos Castaneda and transactional psychology. Good luck.

Great point about providers focusing on the symptoms. You see the same thing in chronic pain management. The science behind health coaching and pain management enforce focusing on what you can do not what you cannot.

Thanks for watching, Kit!

The possibility of post-traumatic growth gives purpose to the pain of the pandemic. Thanks for sharing great, evidence-based info to help people through this difficult time.

[@HealthHackers]

Thanks Carlyn. I feel some sense of comfort with the concept of post-traumatic growth. A light at the end of the tunnel perhaps!

Great to see you back Gemma - I live very profoundly with Complex-PTSD and fully agree on Post-Traumatic Growth in re-defining our lives using meditation to self-soothe and enduring traumas that are very beyond what most ordinary humans have ever faced and stood on the summit of the mountain has a Superhuman braver wiser exceptionally resilient enhancing our courageous qualities to do life and looking after ourselves so handling tough situations in the right way alongside compassionate and kind support for others who have tough lives. Best wishes

David McGough David, thanks so much for watching. I can’t imagine what you’ve faced and how you’ve suffered, but how remarkable that you’ve found positive ways to redefine your life. Thank you for commenting.

I am looking forward to the idea of PTG. I have had a good life combined with a series of trauma. I wasn't prepared to handle some of it, like abuse. But, I am finding ways to make my life more meaningful, rich and unexpected growth.

[@HealthHackers]

Thank you for watching Makayla. I’m sorry for your traumas. How wonderful that you’ve found ways to make life more meaningful. Perhaps that is growth in and of itself!

Great interview, as always. Here's a request if you ever run out of ideas: Sam Vaknin. If you don't run out of ideas, that's cool too. Thank you.

[@HealthHackers]

chesshooligan 1 thanks for watching! Appreciate the suggestion. 😁 If you’re keen to watch other narcissism experts, check out my videos with Dr Ramani (eps 21 & 41)👍 Let me know your thoughts.

[@chesshooligan1282]

@@HealthHackers I already did, and that's when I subscribed to your channel. I subscribed because you're the best interviewer I've seen interviewing Dr Ramani. You ask the right questions and, unlike some other interviewers, you know when to keep your mouth shut and listen.

[@HealthHackers]

chesshooligan 1 🤣🙏

[@johncaccioppo1142]

Vaknin would be an impossible interviewee, I've seen him take over the camera work and start directing. He has no boundaries with his narcissism.

[@chesshooligan1282]

@@johncaccioppo1142 Well, yeah, he's a narcissist himself, haha. Probably a nightmare to deal with in real life. An online interview might be possible, though.
