PostTraumatic Growth

Drastic events can have a significant impact on your life whether it?s getting an illness, experiencing a burnout or depression, seeing an accident happen, going through a divorce, losing a job, losing job prospects, or other misery. It is often intense and drastic. But challenging times or misery can ultimately also completely transform the course of your life positively.

?Stronger through misery?. You may think this is an odd title. And yet it is possible.
Why would you always need to stay vulnerable or need to keep an eye on your limits after misery? It?s not necessary! You can grow and therefore emerge even stronger from it.

In science this phenomenon is called PostTraumatic Growth, another name for ?what doesn?t kill you, makes you stronger?.

In this book you will get to know the positive and hopeful ideas of PTG in an inspiring, recognizable and useful way. The book is suitable for anyone who is personally and/or professionally involved with misery or is simply interested in it.

Anja Jongkind (1953) and Greet Vonk (1964) have worked together within Et Emergo since 2013 and have developed PTG Coaching. They also give work- shops, lectures, inspiration sessions and training in the field of PostTraumatic Growth.

Anja has based her work on these principles in her practice as a therapist and as a coach for more than 40 years. Greet learned ?the profession? of Anja 20 years ago and conducted a scientific study regarding PostTraumatic Growth. Her research has recently been published in the scientific journal International Journal of Workplace Health Management.
