Exploring Post Traumatic Growth in Survivors of Personal Trauma

Abstract

This dissertation explores the phenomenon of post-traumatic growth (PTG) among survivors of personal trauma, examining the theoretical foundations, cultural perspectives, facilitating factors, and practical implications of PTG. Drawing upon insights from diverse cultural contexts, including Indian and Australian perspectives, the study investigates the intrapersonal, interpersonal, and contextual factors that contribute to the experience of growth following adversity. By synthesizing research findings and real-world applications, the dissertation aims to enhance our understanding of resilience and personal transformation in the aftermath of trauma, informing interventions aimed at promoting positive psychological change and enhancing well-being.
