PTG Domain 4: Spiritual & Existential Change Video

Josh Goldberg | Spiritual & Existential Change through Education

December 20, 2024

In this video Josh speaks to us about spiritual and existential change in the context of post-traumatic growth. It involves a deep reflection on life’s profound questions, such as identity, purpose, and belonging, often spurred by struggles. It encompasses six key aspects: understanding spiritual matters, strengthening faith (if applicable), finding harmony with the world, feeling connected to existence, facing questions about life and death, and gaining clarity about life’s meaning. Ask yourself: How have your challenges reshaped your beliefs, and where do you feel called to grow deeper? Begin exploring how reconnecting with your inner values and experiences can redefine your path forward. This journey allows individuals to rebuild their beliefs, make sense of their past, and use their experiences to inform a more meaningful future. Ultimately, it’s about aligning intentions with impact, embracing one’s struggles as a source of growth, and discovering a personal sense of purpose and clarity.
