But You Look So Good

Is Post-Traumatic Growth Really a Thing?


Listen Later

In this episode of But You Look So Good, hosts Sally and Seona explore the concept of Post-Traumatic Growth (PTG) and its relevance to individuals living with chronic health conditions. They discuss whether significant adversity, such as chronic illness, can genuinely lead to positive transformation, or if this idea imposes unrealistic expectations on those already facing ongoing struggles. The episode examines the scientific basis of PTG, critiques of the concept, and ways to approach personal growth without pressure.
