The Five Phases of PTG

PTG Phases Foundation: Trust and Connection

Trust and connection is key to the Posttraumatic Growth journey. This can happen before you begin, or discover it along the way.

PTG Phases Part 1: Education

With Education, we learn that the painful impacts of struggle are normal. And we discover that we can grow from these experiences.

PTG Phases Part 2: Regulation

With Regulation, we cultivate calm, clarity, and connectednes. This lets us reflect and respond rationally to issues we are navigating.

PTG Phases Part 3: Disclosure

Once we have learned about PTG and discovered the power of regulation, we can begin to Disclose our traumatic experiences and discuss their impact.

PTG Phases Part 4: Story

By doing the hard work of Education, Regulation, and Disclosure, we can begin to pick up the pieces and build anew – building upon the story of our lives – and write a new chapter.

PTG Phases Part 5: Service

By making sense of our experiences, we can build the courage to share our stories with others. This can enrich their lives and enable them to struggle well.
