Post-traumatic Growth (PTG) or Positive Disintegration?

[@beecee1235]

Thank you so much for this. I am a "recovering" cancer patient who was treated despicably by my employers, and as a result of these two "difficulties" I thought I was loosing it, until this video. I believe that my Stubbornness helped me to hold on, some extent. Your videos are very insightful. Thanks again.

A haunted house, but it's just people saying "but it made you stronger" when you tell them about something that literally traumatized you.

So happy to hear someone talk about Dabrowski (& this topic in general)!!!

[@maryrizzo4076]

This may be one of your best talks yet.

The first time I heard the phrase “Post traumatic growth” I smelled bullsh*t. I only knew post traumatic hardship and suffering. Thank you Professor Sam Vaknin for your very articulate explanations of psychological ideas and concepts. It is a privilege to learn from you. Thank you for your generosity of presentations.

[@joannarojek2228]

I am learning the words to speak to myself about my experience. Thank you

[@amberfuchs398]

Great lecture. When I've heard about PTG from others, it often felt like spiritual bypassing. Leave it to the Professor to not sugarcoat reality or bypass the harsh realities of trauma.

And everything was deleted before I could send 😭 But I have a little more left for a short wording of thanks for everything you helped and every day I feel like I'm returning to those I lost and thanks to you without exaggerating at all🏆☯️🧘🏼‍♂️🙏🏻

This information is extremely valuable, encouraging and validating! Thank you for continually sharing your high level of knowledge!❤

I didn't expect the full-scale invasion. It felt like a betrayal with dimension of Cai and Abel. I think it retraumatized me but also triggered a lot of wounds and made me go no contact with my f...ed up family.

[@lucyhrut3027]

Really wanted you to make a video about Dabrovsky! Thank you!!

[@christinawagnerUXDesign]

Prof. Your lectures always validate me and it feels good: that in the anormality of it all what happens in my shattered mind is “ normal”, explainable. So thank you But then, how do we help? What do you suggest? Christina

[@TOMASH_KIN]

Thank you very much *I became addicted to your laugh and the way the experiment is so precise and your pleasant voice even for hours in a row continues to be pleasant and even more addictive to upload a new video starring you the most stunning character and I will be loved on KZbin and in general.

[@dorotaserowik580]

I like the laughter too! It feels natural, spontaneous, and honest

[@Æthyq]

So I can adaptively renovate my ideology to hopefully cope better with future crises/developments.

[@S2023.]

Integration. Thank you i have to listen again to absorb further.

"Concentration of force in a point-like area" I love the metaphors from physics. The word psychodynamics is also interesting to me, in this regard.

[@lizmandelaine6863]

Nice…so timely a topic.

[@nicoletacherechesu1576]

About. traumas ..are sensitives thinghs ..and many coaches in their speeches , consider trauma very easy to overcome , ……but I dont think so that…..

[@CCourtney87]

I have been limerent since childhood, obviously due to unmet needs ect. How does fantasy in a limerent person compare to the fantasy of a narcissist? They both have obsessed thoughts and negative outcomes, but my limerent thoughts are never intended with manipulation. I only hyper focus on one person, compared to the narcissistic supply. Yet both the narcissist and the limerent person each live in their own shared fantasy, but on two different aspects. ❤ I watch you everyday❤ you're brilliant

[@GoranKovachevic]

Prof. Vaknin, Could the idea of ​​"positive disintegration" be somewhat related to the concept of "benign regression" (Balint), "regression in the service of the Ego" (Kris) or initiation rites?

[@samvaknin]

No. I will dedicate a video to regression.

[@GoranKovachevic]

@@samvaknin I appreciate your reply.

[@Yousra-98]

i v always thought that change in inputs (mindset-ideology-philosophy -concepts) has to do sth with the change of feelings -emotions-personal experience of world ........change in a deep level

[@rehabyasiin]

So much appreciation for this video which means a lot to me as a psychoanalyst and previously traumatized as well 😊 , Thank you prof . vaknin for your clear and deep words 👋🏻♥️

[@christophemouawad6971]

Can you make a video on psychedelics and how some studies claim to help people with PTSD and CPTSD? Micro dosing and full doses. Thank you

[@samvaknin]

Search the channel.

[@WithWingsOfAngel]

Can you talk more about interoception?

[@samvaknin]

This is a subject in medicine, not in psychology.

[@TOMASH_KIN]

שושנים ודובונים❤ I wrote for you a real manifesto of appreciation and a detailed explanation for the attack that I saved alive from a narcissist friend who is currently in prison. Karma is giving him more than he ever imagined thanks to the fact that I was able to record a 40-minute audio that revealed to the world and to everyone the evil thing that was hidden between everyone and I hope that you will continue the mitzvah that you took as a personal journey to help everyone who does not see a future or identity before I encountered you dear professor and the most perfect person externally and internally supreme wisdom and enviable hair... thank you very much

[@moldbellchains5709]

What the fuck dude 😫

A true blessing is surviving a gift from god, assuming of course that there is a God and that you actually survive.
