Uncovering the Possibility of Post-Traumatic Growth | Dr. Amrita Sen Mukherjee
Manage episode 435462120 series 2978924
One of the most extraordinary manifestations of human potential is:
Our ability to grow and strengthen ourselves in the face of pain, trauma, and those moments where life falls apart.
Today’s guest, Dr. Amrita Sen Mukherjee, has not only studied what contributes to this deeply human capacity for post-traumatic growth but has experienced it first-hand.
In our conversation we’ll dive deep into her story and insights she's gained about what fosters positive psychological change in response to trauma and adversity.
The qualities and conditions that support us in finding the courage to rise again after we fall,
And the potential we have to come back stronger.
In today’s episode Amrita will share:
- Parts of her own story including facing illness after childbirth, and the many layers of adversity she experienced as both a mother, and a physician with invisible disability.
- Insights into Post-Traumatic Growth and her original research that explored the lived experiences of doctors with invisible disability.
- The conditions that contribute to other people being courageous in the face of significant obstacles.
- Practical skills for creating psychological safety, compassion, and empathy.
- The importance of mattering, and feeling at home in our own skin, and at home on the earth.
- Practices that support showing ourselves and each other we are valued and that we matter.
- Reflections on the healing power of silence.
- Why humility, curiosity, and the willingness to not know can lead to people feeling seen.

A quick note about the conversation today. There were some occasional minor sounds you’ll hear in the background as it wasn’t a perfectly quiet spot during recording which comes with the territory from time to time. We feel it didn’t detract much from the conversation though and are still very excited to share it with you.
