A groundbreaking book on trauma that offers readers a five-stage framework for achieving posttraumatic growth. Trauma has always been part of the human experience, and traumatic events - both physical and emotional -can shake our very foundation and leave us forever changed.

In this first book of its kind, renowned psychologist Dr. Edith Shiro shares a powerful, five-stage framework for posttraumatic growth, a therapeutic process that helps you not just recover, but experience growth and renewal in wake of trauma. Inspired by her grandparents, who were refugees and Holocaust survivors, Dr. Edith Shiro has dedicated her life to the study of trauma and its aftereffects. Developed over more than three decades of research and practice, Shiro's stages - Awareness, Awakening, Becoming, Being, and Transforming - outline how trauma can be a catalyst for positive, transformative change. Grounded in science and filled with practical tools and takeaways, The Unexpected Gift of Trauma reveals a groundbreaking new way to think about and heal from trauma.
