POST-TRAUMATIC GROWTH: How to Build the Resilience of a Soldier in 5 Steps

Sometimes life throws you a curveball; something that knocks you for six, that makes you wonder whether life will ever be the same again…

Exposure to traumatic events can lead to post-traumatic stress disorder. (There's been quite a lot in the press about that lately).

Several recent developments in the trauma field have led to significant changes in how PTSD is diagnosed and treated.

Martin Seligman has done some significant work in this area and has found from his research that people who had experienced particularly awful situations could experience what's called Post-Traumatic Growth.

Seligman found that with the right support and a good process trauma doesn't need to flatten us forever.

Martin Seligman's been offering this type of support to the U.S. Army since 2009 via his Master Resilience Training.

In this podcast episode, I'll give you a snapshot of the 5 Steps for Building Resilience from this Master Resilience Training program.
