Struggle is strength. Pain is power. Failure is fuel. For far too long society has focused almost exclusively on the negative impacts of struggle. This narrative is dominated by ideas of dysfunction, disorder, and diagnosis. The language can feel debilitating – a label too heavy to carry. It’s time to balance the story and launch a campaign to Choose Growth — to shine a light on the possibility of experiencing growth in the aftermath of trauma. Today, June 13th, is National Posttraumatic Growth Day. Today we shine a light on how struggle can be a catalyst for profound transformation.   Join me in honoring powerful stories of growth. Check out the Choose Growth film at ChooseGrowth.org and share your story using #ChooseGrowth. #ChooseGrowth #PTG #PTSD #MentalHealth #StruggleWell #PosttraumaticGrowth
