In the aftermath of experiencing traumatic and victimizing experiences, most individuals are impacted, but some 75% go onto evidence resilience, and in some instances Post Traumatic Growth.

Educational Objectives:
- Provide a Constructive Narrative analysis of what distinguishes the respective 75% versus the 25
- Identify how the “body keeps score” of both PTSD and resilience and the implications for treatment
- Present ways to bolster resilience in the 25% group and consider factors that contribute to “post-traumatic growth.”
