Surviving Out Loud
Dr. Heather Evans joined Dr. Veirdre Jackson on the Living Strong radio show. They “explored the idea of surviving out loud and what it looks like to live beyond a hardship loudly enough to be heard. Dr. Heather Evans shared about some of her work with survivors in the USA and beyond from survivors of human sex trafficking and other forms of trauma, to survivors of genocide in the country of Rwanda.” They also discussed the five elements of post traumatic growth and how post traumatic growth is not a return to “normal” after experiencing trauma but an experience of growth beyond the pre-trauma state that is deeply profound.
