HOD-816 Post Traumatic Growth

4 semester credits
Students examine the psychological, emotional, social, spiritual, and physical paradigms for coping with the profound changes that result from trauma. Trauma often represents axial points in time in people’s lives that reframe who they are. Trauma leads to questioning assumptions about life, values, ideals, and goals in life often resulting in shock, despair, depression and much more. Survivors of trauma react in different ways, some healthy and others less so. Students critically analyze different approaches to trauma and the narrative and phenomenological structures of these experiences and consider how, for some, trauma becomes a paradoxical catalyst for personal growth and transformation.
