YouTube Description
as posted by the channelTrauma: when reality contradicts our values and beliefs within the models in our minds (theory of mind, internal working model IWM, self-image, etc.)
No trauma when the conflict is partial or when there is no conflict.
Trauma is not the same as crisis or failure: it is unexpected, surreal, inexplicable.
Crisis and failure lead to adaptive change (growth, development).
Trauma leads to maladaptive change (regression and dysfunction), never to growth. Post-traumatic growth (Richard Tedeschi and Lawrence Calhoun) an oxymoron.
Positive disintegration (Kazimierz Dąbrowski).
Stress related growth model (Crystal Park).
Adversarial growth model (Joseph and Linley).
