Beyond Crisis

Summary

Everyone experiences personal crisis of one form or another. In this dialogue, Stearns, a clinical psychologist, tells how new growth can occur through pain, grief and trauma. Turning losses into victories underscores the conversation, as she describes what enables and inspires some people to transform tragedy into rebirth while others are defeated or crushed. Stearns tells the real life stories of “triumphant survivors,” who have been able to become stronger and continue moving forward positively after enduring terrible loss and trauma.
