Hi, this is Carrie at Country Swell. I'm continuing the conversation about domestic violence all month. It's October, Domestic Violence Awareness Month. Today I will discuss DV and post traumatic growth. Many people are familiar with the term posttraumatic stress or posttraumatic stress disorder, but let's explore posttraumatic growth today. Before I go any further, I'll share the domestic violence. National Hotline 1807. Nine. Nine safe. You also have the ability to text them

And it's important for these type of blogs and posts and podcasts to be out there so that people can have this wealth of knowledge. So that people can relate to it. So that people can begin to hear that terminology and understand that terminology of post traumatic growth. Right. Because we've always focused on the post traumatic stress and things of that nature. But we haven't been taught or exposed to internalizing what those growth steps are and what those growth steps look like

And thankfully I was able to reach out to someone in my village and to just share and she was able to help walk me through and process. And a part of it could also have been that earlier in the day I received a text message from someone I had met a while ago in a social circle. And because she follows her See suit page on Instagram and she knows what I am about in terms of helping survivors heal out loud and to thrive after surviving domestic violence

Thank you so much for your, you know, empowering and uplifting response. I really enjoyed listening to your words and thank you so much for the work that you're doing as a life coach. It is great that you are are reminding us that we do have our own individual stories and I always like to think that in this growth we are just rewriting our ending. We are coming through and understanding our story and finding that happy ending that we deserve maybe more than anyone
