Was gonna write a blog post about how to grow an authentic personality as an adult who grew up in abuse or a cult or authoritarianism in some form that prevented healthy personality formation in childhood. Where we grew up with a pseudo personality, a false self, constantly wearing a mask and there not being a "real me" under the mask! Because it could never form.
But it can form at any age, if given the chance. Freedom from abuse, safety, and even just one healthy, supportive relationship are what we need. Souls are resilient and can never be fully suppressed, not forever. We can get traumatised and messed with and all sorts of stuff, but we still have our true potential in us, somewhere, even if it is (temporarily) hidden.
Like a flower out of a dung heap, we can grow. Post traumatic growth is real.

At the end of last year, while reading Rebecca Solnit's "A Paradise Built in Hell," many of us encountered the idea of "post-traumatic growth"—a sort of inverse PTSD, where individuals experience increased resilience, strengthened relationships, and personal empowerment as a result of a traumatic event. Excited by this phenomenon (and our own brush with it), a member of our reading group has worked with a friend in clinical psychology to facilitate a presentation and deeper conversation about the power of community in uncertain times.
Please join us on Tuesday at 6:30pm for an in-person discussion and workshop that draws on academic research and our own experiences as disaster survivors to explore the idea of post-traumatic growth!

“Adversity, like the grit that creates the pearl, is often what propels people to become more true to themselves, take on new challenges, and view life from a wider perspective.”
