Bonanno argues that we failed to predict the psychological response to 9\/11 because most of what we understand about trauma is wrong. For starters, it's not nearly as common as we think. In fact, people are overwhelmingly resilient to adversity. What we often interpret as PTSD are signs of a natural process of learning how to deal with a specific situation. We can cope far more effectively if we understand how this process works. Drawing on four decades of research, Bonanno explains what makes us resilient, why we sometimes aren't, and how we can better handle traumatic stress. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Hopeful and humane, \u003ci\u003eThe End of Trauma\u003c\/i\u003e overturns everything we thought we knew about how people respond to hardship.","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51376940744927,"sku":"9781541674387","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0813\/8958\/4607\/files\/tCbAwh1Vq09781541674387.webp?v=1789229021"},{"product_id":"the-other-side-of-sadness-what-the-new-science-of-bereavement-tells-us-about-life-after-loss-paperback","title":"The Other Side of Sadness: What the New Science of Bereavement Tells Us about Life After Loss - Paperback","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIn this thoroughly revised and updated classic, a renowned psychologist shows that mourning is far from predictable, and all of us share a surprising ability to be resilient\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The conventional view of grieving--encapsulated by the famous five stages of grief: denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and acceptance--is defined by a mourning process that we can only hope to accept and endure.\u003cbr\u003e In \u003cem\u003eThe Other Side of Sadness\u003c\/em\u003e, psychologist and emotions expert George Bonanno argues otherwise.
