Post-traumatic growth, your superpower, and what God does with our trauma

Make no doubt: trauma shakes up our world and forces us to take another look at our cherished goals and dreams. We tend to rely on a particular set of beliefs and assumptions about the benevolence and controllability of the world and God, and traumatic events typically shatter that worldview as we become shaken from our ordinary perceptions. Today we walk through seven areas of growth that spring from adversity and how God uses our suffering and trauma to give us what we need most. The seven areas are: 1 Greater appreciation of life, 2 Greater appreciation, and strengthening of close relationships, 3 Increased compassion, 4 The identification of new possibilities or a purpose in life, 5 Greater awareness of personal strengths, 6 Creative growth, 7 Enhanced spiritual development.
