Listen Now:
With a mix of pure motivational messaging and practical action you can start taking to deal with adversity, this week’s episode of the Faculty Factory is a celebration of tenacity in the face of a tough time.
We also feature some very important clips and snippets surrounding post-traumatic growth in this best of the Faculty Factory “greatest hits” episode.
This “Best of the Faculty Factory” compilation episode features clips from three masterful episodes in the Faculty Factory archive. (If you’re interested in hearing the full conversations, you can find the original episodes below.) Appearing in order are the episodes that were clipped for this podcast:
- What I Learned from the “Masters of Adversity” with George S. Everly, Jr., PhD, FACLP, FAPA
- New Roles, Change, and Post-Traumatic Growth with Wendy Ward, PhD, ABPP, FAPA, FNAP
- Vulnerability and Post-Traumatic Growth to Help Find Meaning in Medicine with Nicole Piemonte, PhD
Although a lot of the conversation is shaped by a time of COVID (many of these interviews took place as we were still in the throes of the global pandemic, or emerging from it), there are gems of wisdom and storytelling throughout this broadcast that can help anyone looking to emerge from a challenging time.
As Dr. Ward mentions, there are reasons to be hopeful, based on the post-traumatic growth literature, for many of us to emerge from a traumatic event as “better than baseline.”
