REALIGNMENT WITH LIFE DUE TO COVID-19 - Session 3 of the "Winds of Change" Series REINTEGRATION WITH LIFE
The current pandemic has certainly, in varying degrees, affected our ability to cope or integrate the ideas and emotions involved in that experience.
This can take a serious emotional toll on us, even if the event did not cause physical damage. This can have a profound impact on our identity, resulting in negative effects in mind, body, soul and spirit.
It is not the event that determines whether something is traumatic to us, but our experience of the event and the meaning we make of it.
Post-pandemic life is not about returning to the same life as it was previously experienced before, but rather it is about undergoing significant 'life-changing' psychological shifts in thinking and relating to the world, that contribute to our personal process of change, that is deeply meaningful.
We may find that this ?benefit-finding? gives us a broader perspective of life and some positive personal development.
This webinar (and subsequent handouts) will attempt to cover:
A brief look into the world of trauma stress.
The similarities and differences between resilience and PTG.
Completion of a PTG questionnaire.
Discussions on the possible gains in some aspects of our living resulting from this ?stress-related growth? or ?adversarial growth?.
How this may translate to/have transformed our realignment of our wellness wheel.
