There are actually 5 drivers of resilience; optimism, self compassion, cognitive agility, self efficacy and emotional regulation. We dive deep into each of these components and how they play a part in being resilient, with our guest Gabriella Rosen Kellerman MD. Gabriella is a medical doctor and behavioral science researcher with training in psychiatry and fMRI research. She currently works as Chief Product Officer at BetterUp – a company focused on employee wellbeing. But today's episode is dedicated to talking about her latest venture - co-writing a new book with none other than the “the father of positive psychology” Martin SeligmanPhD. Their book, Tomorrowmind: Thriving at Work with Resilience, Creativity, and Connection―Now and in an Uncertain Future is a hopeful look at how to flourish in an uncertain world. By capitalizing on a Tomorrowmind, we can utilize the universal psychological skills for thriving in an uncertain future: resilience and cognitive agility; mattering and purpose; rapid rapport for social support; prospection; and creativity and innovation (PRISM). Join our insightful and thoughtful conversation with Gabriella to learn how we can adopt a tomorrowmind. And then stick around for our Grooving Session where Tim discusses the part of the interview that sent chills up his spine, and Kurt gets philosophical about what it means to be optimistic.

Michaela Haas, Ph.D., an award-winning reporter and author of three non-fiction books, wrote her most recent book looking for answers to a chronic health issue she experienced. Two psychologists, Richard G. Tedeschi, Ph.D., and Lawrence Calhoun, Ph.D., coined the term "post-traumatic growth" from their work with survivors. Michaela wondered how other people navigate through trauma, illness, and death.In "Bouncing Forward: The Art and Science of Cultivating Resilience," Michaela interviews iconic "mavens of post-traumatic growth," including Writer and Civil Rights Activist Mia Angelou, ex-POW Brigadier General Rhonda Cornum, famed jazz guitarist and Holocaust survivor Coco Schumann, Buddhist Teacher Roshi Bernie Glassman, and many more.Michaela gravitated toward Mia Angelou's definition of resilience. As opposed to bouncing forward, resilience explains that we can never bounce back; we will never be the same after that loss, but we can forge a path ahead, and it's not something that happens immediately.She discovered a change in five different areas of their lives:Personal strengthDeeper relationships with othersNewer perspectives on lifeA new appreciation for lifeA change of spiritualityMichaela emphasizes that one of the essential components of resilience is joining like community and sharing your experience. "No one can do it on their own," she said. "Finding support is the most crucial step." She now defines herself as a solutions journalist, seeking stories of effective, reproducible solutions to society's most pressing issues.Michaela is a contributing editor for David Byrne's Reasons to be Cheerful and has been writing for the New York Times, AlJazeera, Rotary International, the Huffington Post, CBS, and numerous other media.

Episode Description:How Grit and Resilience Can Help You Heal Trauma helps you consider a balanced approach to healing trauma that works. Many of us have been shamed for not knowing how to heal, and we've been told that we don't pray enough or have enough faith. We've also been told to bootstrap our healing, and if we can't, it's our fault. This approach is toxic and retraumatizing, and it doesn't work. Likewise, many of us have been taught helplessness through example or because we've experienced so much abuse, neglect, pain, and disappointment that we no longer believe healing is possible because we feel we've tried everything. We begin to feel beaten down and hopeless. This is learned helplessness, and while it's not our fault, it CAN be overcome with a trauma informed approach. We CAN heal trauma when we balance grit, resilience, and learned optimism as skills that can be cultivated with self-compassion and body based resiliency techniques. With the right tools, healing is possible! Breakdown of Episode1:15 Introduction to the Episode and Topic3:58 Why a Balanced Approach to Healing Trauma is Important 29:43 What's Grit and Resilience Got to Do With It? 35:29 What Is Learned Helplessness?45:12 The Spoon Theory49:14 Ways to Build ResilienceBulleted List of ResourcesBuilding Your Resilience by the APA references the definition of resilience. This article discusses how resilience is a skill that can be learned to heal trauma. What is Learned Helplessness and Why Does it Happen by Kendra Cherry in Very Well Mind gives a definition and explanation of learned helplessness. Learned helplessness is a research based concept that is the opposite of resilience.Learned Optimism: How to Change Your Mind and Your Life by Martin Seligman is a book I recommended in the podcast. It gives you a more detailed approach to overcoming learned helplessness and learn resilience. The Spoon Theory by Christine Miserandino is a famous article I referenced in the podcast that discusses how many of us do have realistic limitations that we must work with, but I also mention that we still have a lot of control, agency, and power to heal and grow. The Trauma Resiliency Model: A 'Bottom-Up' Intervention for Trauma Psychotherapy by Linda Grabbe and Elaine Miller-Karas in the Journal of Psychiatric Nurses Association is an article I mentioned in the podcast that gives you the science behind resilience to heal trauma and a research based model of nine steps to apply resilience to trauma.Trauma Resiliency Model: Why Trauma Rehab Therapy Might Be Right for You by The Dawn Rehab is an article that discusses the nine steps in the Trauma Resiliency Model (TRM) in layman's terms so you can research them and apply them to your own trauma recovery. Growth After Trauma by Richard G. Tedeschi gives you research based steps you can use as you heal and become more resilient. Note that you won't go through these linearly, but may go back and forth and in and out of these, but will do the latter steps more as you heal.
Jenna Quinn was one of the first survivors to translate their experience of abuse into child abuse prevention public policy. Jenna was abused by a close friend of the family, someone known through the Christian school she attended. Her mom was a teacher, and her family very supportive, and yet Jenna, like so many others, became vulnerable to ongoing abuse because she didn’t know who, or how, to tell. And her school, like so many other schools, provided no abuse prevention education to kids or to school personnel. The 2009 Jenna’s Law changed that in Texas and became a model for other efforts. Listen in as we explore how centering the experiences of survivors can translate into important policy solutions, and how survivors can not only survive but experience post-traumatic growth that allows them to thrive.Topics in this episode:Why she spoke up (1:25)Jenna’s Law (8:44)Stigma (12:44)Faith communities and child abuse (15:04)Post-traumatic growth (18:23)What’s next for Jenna (35:44)Advice for CACs (39:45)Next episode (44:53)Links:Jenna Quinn, M.S., champions the passage of Jenna’s Law at the state and federal level to require K-12 schools to educate students, teachers, and caregivers about how to prevent, recognize, and report child sexual abuseJenna Quinn will be the Opening Keynote speaker at our 2021 Leadership Conference on June 7Children’s Advocacy Center for North Texas (Denton County)SANE (sexual assault nurse examiner)Warning signs of child sexual abuse (#ItsYourBusiness)Darkness to Light has many prevention resources#ChurchToo (similar hashtags are in use for other religions)Victor Vieth; see also our earlier interview with him, “Faith, Trauma, and the Problem of Evil” (May 13, 2019)Post-traumatic growth (PTG), Richard G.

Among many other roles and accomplishments, our guest today, Robin Williams Evans, is a wife, a mother to a child with severe disabilities, an ordained minister, a coach to families with special-needs children, and author of the Washington Post best-seller, Living a Happy Life with a Special-Needs Child: A Parent’s Perspective. As Robin explains, for the first two years after the birth of her son, Wyatt, she was in an emotionally dark place because she wasn’t prepared for the journey of being a parent to a special-needs child. Listen in to this inspiring conversation around the importance of self-care, and finding and keeping happiness and your peace of mind. Show Highlights: Robin shares the circumstances surrounding the birth of her son, Wyatt. Both Robin and her husband went through the process of grief differently and on different time-tables. There is no shame in seeking professional help when mourning the loss of your child’s abilities. As Robin attests, there is happiness to be found in the struggle, and she feels that she and her husband evolved into better people for it. Posttraumatic Growth by Richard G. Tedeschi, Jane Shakespeare-Finch, Kanako Taku, and Lawrence G. Calhoun, is a book in which this relatively new field of science (by the same name) details how positive change can come after traumatic experiences. We are all faced with the decision of trying to make things better or to allow life to crush us at every turn. It’s a choice, every single time. Robin encourages us to choose to be happy. For special needs families, and especially for those with medically-complex children, it’s key to having a flexible mindset. Women are often socialized to believe that we can do it all by ourselves and we tend to be uncomfortable asking for help. It is not a weakness to ask for help! Robin’s passion is to help other families find and maintain happiness by teaching them how to choose the way they organize their lives. Connect with Robin!

Die meisten von uns kennen den Begriff Posttraumatische Belastungsstörung. Haben davon gehört oder haben sogar eine erlitten. Eine Posttraumatische Belastungsstörung (PTBS) ist eine Reaktion auf ein sehr belastendes Ereignis, auf eine Situation von überwältigender Bedrohung oder sogar von katastrophenartigen Ausmaß. Sie kann Gefühle wie Angst und Schutzlosigkeit, Hilflosigkeit und Kontrollverlust auslösen. Aber hast du schon einmal von dem Begriff Posttraumatisches Wachstum gehört? Posttraumatisches Wachstum ist eine Bezeichnung in der Psychologie und ein Konzept entwickelt von den Psychologen Richard G. Tedeschi und Lawrence G. Calhoun. Zu diesem posttraumatischem Wachstum kann es nach einer traumatisierenden Situation kommen. Um das Konzept des posttraumatischen Wachstums geht es in der neuen Podcastfolge.

During this global pandemic, many of us will experience trauma, which the authors define as a severely stressful life-altering event. A traumatic event is like an earthquake, shattering an individual's coherent world-view the way an earthquake can shatter the foundations of buildings. A traumatic event is undesirable in the extreme and significant enough to challenge “the basic assumptions about one's future and how to move toward that future…such as the loss of loved ones, of cherished roles or capabilities, or of fundamental, accepted ways of understanding life.” Posttraumatic Growth: Theory, Research and Applications (Routledge, 2018), Richard G. Tedeschi and his colleagues (Jane Shakespeare-Finch, Kanako Taku and Lawrence G. Calhoun rework and overhaul the seminal 2006 Handbook of Posttraumatic Growth. It provides a wide range of answers to questions concerning knowledge of posttraumatic growth (PTG) theory, its synthesis and contrast with other theories and models, and its applications in diverse settings. The book starts with an overview of the history, components, and outcomes of PTG. Next, chapters review quantitative, qualitative, and cross-cultural research on PTG, including in relation to cognitive function, identity formation, cross-national and gender differences, and similarities and differences between adults and children. The final section shows readers how to facilitate optimal outcomes with PTG at the level of the individual, the group, the community, and society.

“I had to go to war to find peace.” – Hipolito ‘Beardman’ Arriaga For many, joining the military is a way of making a better life for themselves and their families. Putting on the uniform and representing this country is an incredibly noble, selfless, and heroic job that comes with its set of challenges and uncertainties. Soldiers return to civilian life changed forever with limited resources or outlets where they can express what they saw and experienced in-country. But for four combat veterans from Miami, the MDC Live Arts’ season-long veterans’ initiative was the impetus for the creation of The Combat Hippies. Led by world renowned theater artist and director Teo Castellanos, The Combat Hippies consist of Hipolito ‘Beardman’ Arriaga, Anthony ‘I.E.D.’ Torres, Allen ‘Tatsel’ Minor, and Andrew ‘Dru Phoenix’ Cuthbert. Backed by a soundtrack courtesy of local DJ Brimstone 127, The Combat Hippies show, “Conscience Under Fire” is heralded as a raw, funny, and honest look at what coming home from war feels like for four young combat veterans as they broach the subject of Post Traumatic Growth, a term coined by psychologists Richard G. Tedeschi and Lawrence G. Calhoun at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte in the mid 90’s. These artists joined forces through the MDC Live Arts’ creative writing workshop for veterans’ in which they shared their experiences in an original spoken word piece, but Teo Castellano saw the immense potential of taking their words from the page to the stage. Perhaps scarier than combat itself, these four wordsmiths summoned up the courage to step on stage for the first time and open their souls to an audience full of strangers to perform together at the Betsy Hotel Lounge. Since then, The Combat Hippies have performed “Conscience Under Fire” multiple times, have become resident artists at the MDC Live Arts, and have been selected as finalists for a possible grant by the Knight Foundation. (We’re rooting for you!) It was a pleasure meeting these fine thespians at the beginning of their promising careers and we have a feeling they’re in for the long haul. We want to thank Anthony and Hipolito for opening up to us and sharing their story so honestly with us. Welcome to the Planted in Miami family. We hope you enjoy the show, Alex & Jeanette For behind the scenes show notes, photos and more visit www.plantedinmiami.com. Follow us on Instagram, Twitter and Facebook @plantedinmiami
