Q: Have you experienced positive growth in your sense of spirituality after traumatic experiences?
Q: Can you think of that sense of solidity, inner strength or maybe even lightness in how you approach new challenges learning from past adversity in your life?
Q: Have you experienced new discoveries, new paths, and new ways of healing when dealing with challenges and traumas of life?
Q: Have you experienced improvement in your relationships, in how you relate to people around you when managing recovery from traumatic experiences or even just reflecting on those?
Q: What if our more challenging experiences and how we manage those do positively impact our appreciation of life?
Have I ever experienced positive changes after a traumatic experience? Have I made positive changes in my life?
Do you notice growth in your work/witnessing of traumatic experiences? Does the term “secondary resilience” resonate with you?
And finally, let’s talk about being wrong: what if the assumption that silence is violent in itself is wrong?
We judge asking questions as “being nosy”, while, in my experience, many clients prefer specific questions over an excruciating silence.
