Podcast appearances and mentions of George A Bonanno

Are you resilient? I bet you are.  There is a lot of discussion about resilience these days. What does it really mean? It turns out that resilience is complicated. Is resilience always a good thing? I went into this episode thinking one thing, and after researching this topic I have a different perspective.  One thing I did learn is that resilience can be learned and cultivated.  Is resilience the goal? What about meaning, joy, happiness? I touch on all of these topics in this podcast episode.  I would love to know what you think. Connect with me on Instagram @melanieisathree.

*The information in this podcast is intended for Healthcare Practitioners. In this episode, Nathan speaks with George A. Bonanno, a Professor of Clinical Psychology at Columbia University, Teachers College. His research focuses on how people respond to potentially traumatic events, such as disaster, war, assault and life-threatening injury, whether they present with post-traumatic stress disorder or not. These studies have revealed that the natural response to stressful situations is not trauma, but resilience, and as such, we may be underestimating our ability to rebound without suffering long-term consequences. George has authored two books, The Other Side of Sadness: What the New Science of Bereavement Tells Us About Life After Loss and The End of Trauma: How the New Science of Resilience is Changing How We Think About PTSD. Highlights How history has shaped our understanding of trauma (5:00) Recovery patterns following a traumatic episode (11:00) The resilience blind spot (15:30) Potentially traumatic events (PTEs) (17:00) Human stress response capacity (25:00) The resilience paradox (31:00) How to build your resilience (37:00) Future research in the field of resilience (48:00) Useful Links Link to George's book, The End of Trauma: How the New Science of Resilience is Changing How We Think About PTSD (https://www.amazon.com.au/End-Trauma-Science-Resilience-Changing/dp/1541674367/ref=asc_df_1541674367/?tag=googleshopdsk-22&linkCode=df0&hvadid=463537351125&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=9253469214087898646&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9112656&hvtargid=pla-1299594669838&psc=1) Link to George's book, The Other Side of Sadness: What the New Science of Bereavement Tells Us About Life After Loss (https://www.amazon.com/dp/0465013600?tag=psychologytod-20&linkCode=ogi&th=1&psc=1)

Today we take our quest for resilience to the next level with data-backed insights from George Bonnano, Professor of Clinical Psychology at Columbia University where he heads the Loss, Trauma, and Emotion Lab which has studied resilience in the face of extreme adversity for 25 years. He's the author of the new book "The End of Trauma: How the New Science of Resilience Is Changing How We Think About PTSD." In this episode Joe De Sena, founder and CEO of Spartan, asks Bonnano the ultimate questions about resilience - what's it made up of and how can we get it? George A. Bonanno, Ph.D. is a Professor of Clinical Psychology at Columbia University. His research has for over 25 years centered on defining and documenting resilience in the face of loss or potential traumatic events, including disaster, loss, terrorist attack, bio-epidemic, traumatic injury, life-threatening injuries medical events, and military deployment, and on investigating the role of flexible responding in predicting psychopathological and resilient outcomes. He was honored recently with the Cattell award from the Association for Psychological Science “for a lifetime of intellectual achievements in applied psychological research and their impact on a critical problem in society at large.”    George Bonnano's Book “The End of Trauma: How the new science of resilience is changing how we think about PTSD” https://amzn.to/3ji63iN   Loss, Trauma, and Emotion Lab: http://www.tc.edu/LTElab/   Joe De Sena's Parenting book “10 Rules for Mental Toughness for Families” www.spartan.com/10Rules   The Tough Bible - the best information from Spartan Up all in one place Spartan.com/toughbible    This episode of Spartan Up is brought to you by DUROLANE, a single injection that may provide up to six months 1 of relief from osteoarthritis knee pain.

George Bonanno is professor of clinical psychology, Director of the Lost Trauma and Emotion Lab, and Director of The Resilience Center for Veterans and Families at Columbia University’s Teacher’s College. George’s research focuses on resilience in the fact of loss and traumatic events.   Most of us have the natural tools to deal with extreme adversities in our lives. We cope well when extreme things happen to us.  To deal with the world around us, it takes a repertoire of behaviors.  Sometimes, this involves what George calls “coping ugly.”  Sometimes we might need to do something that doesn’t seem pretty but is reasonably effective.   Connect with George Bonanno: Website for Lost Trauma and Emotion Lab You’ll Learn: [01:55] - George will be presenting on loss, trauma, and resilience at the 5th World Congress on Positive Psychology.  He shares what he would like attendees to take home from his presentation.  [03:45] - Media coverage ensures that we are aware of negative events.  The negative psychological consequences can be overcome, and eventually they go away.
